Tutorial: Creating and Checking Your Email Accounts To create email accounts for your domain (for example, yourname@yourdomain.com), you need to log into your cPanel. To log into your cPanel , type in your website URL and add /cpanel to the end. For example, if your website is www.mysite.com, you would type in www.mysite.com/cpanel

to your web browser and log in with your username and password.

Once you’re logged in, click on Email Accounts.

To create your account, simply type in the email account you would like to create in the "Email" field, create a password, and click on “Create Account.” If you think you'll get a lot of email, you can change your "Mailbox Quota" to a higher MB or click "Unlimited" before you click on "Create Account."

Your email account is now created. To check your email, click on Webmail in your cPanel home page:

Next, click on "Go to Webmail Login."

Next, click on "Read Mail Using Horde."

Choose your language and click "Log In." This will take you to your inbox. You can use this same process to check your email using Roundcube or SquirrelMail as well. You can also have your email forward to another email account. For example, if you have another email account, such as a Hotmail or Gmail account, you can have the email account you just created forward to that account. That way, whenever you get an email to the new account you just created, it will be delivered to the other account instead. Then you can receive all of your email in one place instead of having to check multiple accounts. To set up email forwarding, click on "Forwarders" on your cPanel home page.

Click on "Add Forwarder."

Enter in the email address you want to forward and where you want it to be forwarded to. Then click "Add Forwarder."
