How to Create a Webmail Account in cPanel

Creating a webmail account in cPanel is an essential task for managing email addresses associated with your domain. It allows you to send and receive emails using professional domain-based email accounts (e.g., [email protected]). In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to create a webmail account in cPanel.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Webmail Account

1. Log in to Your cPanel Account

   First, log in to your cPanel account using your username and password. You can access cPanel by navigating to yourcooldomain.com/cpanel in your web browser.

2. Navigate to the Email Accounts Section

   Once you’re logged in, scroll down to the “Email” section and click on “Email Accounts.” This is where you can create and manage your webmail accounts.

3. Click on “Create”

   In the Email Accounts interface, click the “Create” button to start the process of setting up a new email account.

4. Enter the Account Information

   Fill in the required details for your new email account:

   • Domain: Select the domain for which you want to create the email account (e.g., yourdomain.com).
   • Username: Enter the desired email address username (e.g., info, sales).
   • Password: Set a strong password for the account or use the password generator provided.
   • Storage Space: Specify the mailbox size (in MB) or select “Unlimited.”

5. Click “Create”

   After filling in the necessary details, click the “Create” button. Your new email account will be created and listed under the “Email Accounts” section.

6. Access Your Webmail

   To access your webmail, click on “Check Email” next to the newly created account in the “Email Accounts” section. You can choose from the available webmail interfaces like Roundcube or Horde to start using your email.

   Alternatively, you can access webmail directly by navigating to yourcooldomain.com/webmail in your browser and logging in with your email credentials.

7. Configure Email Client (Optional)

   If you prefer to use an email client (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird) or a mobile device, you can configure it using the settings provided under “Connect Devices.” cPanel provides the IMAP, SMTP, and POP3 settings required to set up your email account.
