One of the many advantages of using a cPanel to administer your website is that it makes so many functions easy and fast to do. With cPanel, you can quickly and easily access all the features available to your account and manage your website efficiently. For example, you can manage your e-mail accounts and check your web mail simply with a touch of a button.
As cPanel is a web based software, you will need to have an active Internet connection before you can access your account. The advantage of having a web based control panel is that you can easily access your files easily from anywhere in the world, at the time of your convenience.
To add an e-mail account, first you need to open your browser and type in the URL address of your cPanel. It is usually located at http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel or http://www.yourdomain.com:2082. Once you’ve typed in the URL and clicked Go, an authentication window will pop up to prompt for your username and password. Once you’ve inputted your username and password, click OK. The browser will proceed to load the cPanel main menu.
To access the mail menu, click on the Mail icon. A new page, Mail Manager Main Menu will pop up. To manage your e-mail accounts, click on the link that says Add/Remove/Manage Accounts. A new page, Mail Account Maintenance, will show. The page will list the e-mail accounts already available on your domain. To add an account, choose the link Add Account.
Once the Add Mail Account page has loaded, you can then proceed to input the desired username and password. Optionally, you can also supply the quota of the e-mail account. If you decide not to change it, the default size is 10 MB per e-mail account. Click the Create button to create the account. A confirmation page will load if the creation of e-mail account succeeds.
Removing an account is as simple as creating it. First, you need to go back to the Mail Account Maintenance page. The page will list the e-mail accounts already created on your domain. Next to each e-mail account, there will be a text link that says Delete. Click on the link to delete the account. You will then be asked for confirmation. Click the Yes button to proceed deleting the account. A confirmation page will load if the deletion succeeds. And voila, you are done!
