Creating an Email Account

   • Domain: Select the domain name for your email address from the dropdown menu.
   • Storage Quota: Set the maximum storage space for the email account (leave it unlimited if unsure).

7. Click “Create” to finish setting up the email account.

Managing Email Accounts

1. Go back to the “Email Accounts” section in cPanel.
2. You’ll see a list of your existing email accounts. Here’s what you can do:
   • Change Password: Click on the username of the account you want to modify. In the “Manage” section, choose “Change Password” and set a new secure password.
   • Edit Settings: Click on the username and select “Manage” to adjust storage space, create email filters, or access advanced settings.
   • Delete Account: Select the checkbox next to the unwanted account and click “Delete” at the top of the table. Use caution as this action cannot be undone.
