Create a mailbox
Pick the domain and username
Choose the domain from the dropdown (if you host more than one). Type the local part of the address (e.g.
info for info@yourdomain.com).Set a password
Use Generate for a strong random one, or set your own. cPanel rejects weak passwords by default.
Set a storage quota
Default is 1024 MB. Set Unlimited if your plan allows it. The quota counts against your overall account disk usage.
Manage existing mailboxes
Each mailbox row has a Manage button with the actions you’ll use most:| Action | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Change password | Reset a forgotten password or rotate after a leak |
| Adjust storage quota | Bump a busy mailbox up before it fills |
| Email disk usage | See exactly what’s filling the box (also in Email Disk Usage) |
| Suspend incoming or outgoing | Lock the mailbox without deleting it |
| Restrict by IP | Lock down login to specific IPs (advanced) |
| Delete | Remove the mailbox and its mail forever |
Open webmail
Two ways:- From the mailbox row, click Check Email. cPanel logs you straight into Roundcube.
- Or visit
https://webmail.yourdomain.com(orhttps://yourdomain.com/webmail) and log in with the full email address and password.
Tips
- Default mailbox quota. Set sensible defaults from the Email Accounts page settings so new mailboxes don’t get unlimited space by accident.
- Forwarders before mailboxes. If you only need
info@to land in your personal Gmail, set up a forwarder instead of a mailbox. Saves disk usage. - Disposable mailboxes for signups. Create a mailbox like
signups@yourdomain.comand forward it elsewhere. Keeps your main inbox clean.
