The Email Accounts tool is where you create and manage every mailbox on your domain. It also opens the webmail client so you can read mail straight from cPanel without setting up a desktop client. Open it from cPanel home → Email → Email Accounts.Documentation Index

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.
