# Email Accounts

> Create and manage mailboxes on your domain. Set passwords, set quotas, log into webmail.

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**.

  <Step title="Click Create">

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="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`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a password">
    Use **Generate** for a strong random one, or set your own. cPanel rejects weak passwords by default.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a storage quota">
    Default is 1024 MB. Set **Unlimited** if your plan allows it. The quota counts against your overall account disk usage.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send a welcome email (optional)">
    Tick **Send a welcome email with mail client configuration instructions** if you want the mailbox owner to receive setup steps for Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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` (or `https://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](/web-hosting/cpanel/email-management/forwarders) instead of a mailbox. Saves disk usage.
* **Disposable mailboxes for signups.** Create a mailbox like `signups@yourdomain.com` and forward it elsewhere. Keeps your main inbox clean.
