Creating an Email Account in cPanel Control Panel

2. Access Email Accounts

   • In cPanel, locate and click the Email Accounts icon in the Email section.

• You can also access your email via the web by typing http://yourdomain.com/webmail in your browser (replace yourdomain with your actual domain name).
