The CPanel allows you to create and configure email accounts as well as access email through the web. All email accounts are POP3 enabled, which means you can send and receive email through Outlook Express, Netscape Mail or other popular mail accounts.


By default, your Web Hosting account is already set up with ‘yourusername@yourdomain.com’. You can easily create new email accounts by following these steps:

• In the CPanel, click on Mail, then Add/Remove Accounts, then Add Account.
• Enter the name of your new email account.
• Enter a password with 6-8 alphanumeric characters (it cannot include your username).
• Optionally, specify the amount of disk space quota for the account.
• Click Create.

• If you need to create a new email account first, please see Creating an Email Account section above.
• Open Outlook Express.
• Choose Tools, then click on Accounts from the top menu.
• Choose Add, then click on Mail.
• Enter a ‘from name’ as you would like it to appear (i.e. your name or business' name), and click Next.
• Enter the email address for the account you will create (i.e. yourname@yourdomain.com), and click Next.
• Enter "mail.yourdomain.com", in both open fields, and click Next.
• Enter the username and password you set up for that email account. If you are entering the email account set up for you by default, enter your username and password as it appears in your Welcome email, and click Next.
• Click Finish.
