Note: this article uses examples for email addresses, usernames and passwords which should be replaced with those specific to your account.
Add Email Accounts
These accounts would be accessible by POP3, IMAP or Webmail.
1. Login to your Control Panel (cPanel). Once you are in cPanel, click on Email Accounts.
2. You are now on the Email Accounts screen the first thing you will see is a series of options for adding new accounts.
Email: Enter the name you want to use for the email account. For example if you have bamboocrickethosting.com, and you want to use steve.smith @ bamboocrickethosting.com you would enter steve.smith in the email box.
Password: Your password must be secure, insecure passwords lead to accounts getting into the wrong hands (IE: Spammers) which ends in account suspensions. Password generator is not required, but is recommended.
Quota: This is how much disk space this particular email account is allowed to use. Do not allow quotas to exceed your disk space availability, it will result in delivery errors. If you have more than a few email accounts this is something you will want to keep an eye on.
3. Click Create. Your account will now be listed under "Current Accounts". To obtain your email settings click on configure email client. You can also use this information to login to webmail. Your username is always the full email address.
4. We have a full set of articles on how to setup your email account in your email client.
