Create an e-mail address

To create an e-mail address, you will first need to login to your web hosting account's cPanel. Once logged in, navigate to Mail >> Email Accounts.

Next, you will need to complete the input fields to setup your new e-mail address.

• Email: (this is the name of your e-mail address and it can include a ".")
• Password: (this will be the password for this particular e-mail address)
• Password (again): (retype the password)
  
• Strength: (this is an indicator of how strong your password is, aim for Very Strong)
• Mailbox Quota: (this is how much data storage you would like to allocate to this particular e-mail address)

Once you have completed all input fields, click Create Account.

The e-mail address has now been created. 

Modify an e-mail address: Change Password

To change the password of an e-mail address, login to your web hosting account's cPanel and then navigate to Mail >> Email Accounts.

Next, find the e-mail address in the list and then select Change Password.

Next, enter the new password in both input fields and then select Change Password. We recommend that you create a new password with a Very Strong strength. If you need assistance, select Password Generator to generate a new password.

You have now successfully modified the password of an e-mail address.

Modify an e-mail address: Change Quota

To change the quota of an e-mail address, login to your web hosting account's cPanel and then navigate to Mail >> Email Accounts.

Next, find the e-mail address in the list and select Change Quota.

Input the new desired quota and then select Change Quota. NOTE: E-mail quota is a reference to the size of the inbox. E-mail quota does consume storage space on your account. For example: If your web hosting plan includes 5 GB of storage space and you have a 2 GB e-mail inbox, your account will only have 3 GB of free space.

You have now successfully modified the quota of an e-mail address.

Delete an e-mail address

To delete an e-mail address, login to your web hosting account's cPanel and then navigate to Mail >> Email Accounts.

Find the e-mail address in the list that you would like to delete and then select Delete.

Confirm the action by reviewing the e-mail address that is about to be deleted. If correct, select Delete.

You have now successfully deleted an e-mail address.
