Step 2. Go to Email Manager, then Email Accounts.

Navigate to Email Manager Email Accounts

Step 3. Click Create Account.

From the resulting window, click on Create Account

Step 4. Fill in the form:

  • Username: the part before the @, for example info.
  • Password: type a strong password, or let the panel generate one. Save it somewhere safe.
  • Email quota: how much storage this mailbox may use. You can leave the default.

Then click Create Account.

Then Click Create account

Read and send email

Open yourdomain.com/webmail in your browser and log in with the full email address and the password you just set. Send a test message to another address and reply to it, to check that the mailbox sends and receives.
