Setting up mail accounts in cPanel

[Admin]

You can set up as many POP (Post Office Protocol) e-mail accounts as you require, up to your maximum limit. Each one of these is in the standard e-mail formation of address@yourdomain.com.

As with your default e-mail address, you can access these accounts through web mail or through your own offline e-mail application.

To add an e-mail account:

Click on the Add/Remove Accounts link in the Mail area.

Click on the Add Account link.

Enter the first part of the e-mail address and the password for the account in E-mail and Password fields.

Enter the maximum size limit of this mailbox in the Quota field, if required. The size limit is in megabytes. Not entering a number means that the mailbox size is only limited by the available disk space.

Click on the Create button.

Your new account has been added. Refer to Configuring Outlook Express if you want to use Outlook Express to read e-mail received by the new account.

Because Microsoft Outlook Express is the most popular e-mail application available, you can automatically configure Outlook Express from CPanel. This saves time in manually configuring your e-mail application and avoids errors.

Note: This will only work if you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your machine and are running any version of Windows.

To automatically configure Outlook Express:

Click on the Add/Remove Accounts link in the Mail area.

Click on the Outlook (Express) AutoConfig link next to the required account.

Read the message in the alert window and click on the OK button. You may need to repeat this step two or three times.

Click on the Open this file from its current location radio button, and click on the OK button in the File Download window.

Click on the Yes button in the Registry Editor window and repeat for the last window. Outlook Express has now been configured for this account. You need to repeat this process for as many accounts as you want to access through Outlook Express.
