In this article, we will guide you to create a new email account and use Webmail in cPanel.

Step 1: Login to cPanel

Step 2: Click the Email Accounts icon in the Email section.

Step 3: You will then see the Email Accounts page. If any accounts already exist then they will be listed here. Click on the button labeled Create.

Step 4: The Create an Email Account section will be displayed. Select the Domain that you want to use for the email account. If you have multiple domains on this account, then you will be able to click on the drop-down menu to select a different domain. If you are using only one domain on the account, then only that domain will appear and you can move to the next step.

Step 5: Type in the Username that you want to use. The domain name is automatically appended based on the domain that you have selected. Note that you can only use letters, numbers, periods, hyphens, and underscores for the name. The user name can only be up to 64 characters long

Step 9: After you set the storage space for the email account, you will see an option named Automatically Create Folders for Plus Addressing. This option allows for folders to be created automatically if they are using Plus Addressing. You can also set it to not create folders.
