How to Create an Email Address in cPanel

Having a professional email address using your own domain name (e.g., info@yourdomain.com) adds credibility to your business. SKPHost allows you to create unlimited email accounts through cPanel. Follow the steps below.

Steps to Create an Email Address

1. Log in to your cPanel account.
2. In the Email section, click on Email Accounts.
3. Click the Create button.
4. Fill in the following details:
   • Username: Enter the part before the @ symbol (e.g., info).
   • Domain: Select your domain from the dropdown.
   • Password: Set a strong password or use the password generator.
   • Mailbox Quota: Set a storage limit (or select Unlimited).
5. Click Create to finish.

 Tip: Use a strong password for your email account to prevent unauthorized access. SKPHost recommends a minimum of 12 characters.

How to Access Your New Email

Once the email account is created, you can access it in two ways:

• Webmail: Visit https://yourdomain.com/webmail and log in with your email and password.
• Email Client: Configure it in Outlook, Thunderbird, or your mobile email app using IMAP/SMTP settings provided by SKPHost.

SKPHost Webmail Clients

cPanel provides three built-in webmail interfaces:

• Roundcube – Clean and modern interface, recommended for most users.
• Horde – Feature-rich with calendar and task management.
• SquirrelMail – Simple and lightweight.

Managing Email Accounts
