cPanel lets you create email addresses at the domains hosted on your account.

To Add Email Accounts to Your cPanel Domains

  1. Log in to cPanel (Shared Hosting/Server).
  2. In the Email section, click Accounts.
  3. Click Create Account.
  4. Complete the on-screen fields, and then click Create Account.

    NOTE: Your Mailbox Quota counts toward your account's Disk Space Usage.

After creating email accounts, you can either check them with webmail or use an email client.

If your cPanel email accounts aren't working, you probably need to update your domain name's email settings (technically known as its DNS zone file's MX Records) — we've got that information for you in Configuring DNS for Your cPanel Domain.
