In today’s digital age, email remains an indispensable tool for communication, both personal and professional. Whether you’re managing a business or simply staying connected with friends and family, having a reliable email account is crucial. If you’re using cPanel to manage your web hosting account, creating an email account is a straightforward process that takes just a few minutes.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an Email Account in cPanel
- Access cPanel: Begin by logging into your cPanel account. Once logged in, locate the “Email” section and click on “Email Accounts.”
- Initiate Email Account Creation: Click the “+ Create” button in the top right corner of the Email Accounts page.
- Specify Domain and Email Address: In the “Email” field, enter the desired email address. If you have multiple domains associated with your cPanel account, select the appropriate domain from the “Domain” drop-down menu.
- Set Password: You can either set the password directly or choose to receive a password configuration link via an alternate email address.
- Complete Email Account Creation: Click the “+ Create” button to finalize the email account creation process.
- Access Webmail: To access your newly created email account, click the “Check Email” button next to the account name. You can choose from various webmail clients, including Roundcube, Horde, and SquirrelMail.

Additional Notes:
- If you encounter a “broken” interface when accessing Horde webmail using the http://webmail.yourdomain.com link, this is due to a port mismatch. Use the https://yourdomain.com:2096 link to access Horde webmail.
With these simple steps, you’ve successfully created an email account in cPanel and are ready to start sending and receiving emails with ease.
