How to Create An Email Account in cPanel


In order to create a new email account in cPanel, follow the instructions below:

1. Log in to your cPanel >> Mail section >> Email Accounts menu.

The Email Accounts menu can be accessed quickly via cPanel Shortcuts in the Namecheap account.



2. Navigate to the +Create button:


3. If you have multiple domains, select the domain you want your email account to be associated with in the drop-down list in the top right corner and enter the desired email.
It is possible either to set the password right away: or provide an alternate email (the system will send an email with a password configuration link).



Or provide an alternate email (the system will send an email with a password configuration link as well as notifications and password reset emails):


Click on +Create once all is set.

4. To log in webmail, click on Check Email next to the email account in question:



5. Feel free to choose any access webmail.

You can also access cPanel webmail directly in the browser using one of the following links:

https://yourdomain.com:2096
https://yourdomain.com/webmail
http://webmail.yourdomain.com


NOTE: If you use http://webmail.yourdomain.com link to get into your cPanel webmail, you will most likely see a 'broken' interface when accessing Horde webmail client. It happens since such proxy link uses port 80 to connect, while the default cPanel configuration for the aforementioned clients implies port 81. This mismatch may result in a connection error or a corrupted webmail displaying.


That's it!
