Step 2: Access Email Accounts

Once you’re on the cPanel dashboard, locate and click on the Email Accounts icon.

Step 3: Create a New Webmail Account

Click the +Create button to begin setting up a new webmail account.

Step 4: Set Up Your Webmail Account

On the next page, fill in the following details:

  • Username: Enter your desired username (e.g., tetrahost).
  • Password: You have two options for setting a password:
    • Set password now: You can create a password manually or use the system-generated one.
    • Send login link to alternate email address: This option allows you to send a login link to an alternate email, where the user can set their own password.

Step 5: Explore Optional Settings

Expand the Optional Settings section for additional options such as setting email quotas or managing directories.

Step 6: Finalize Account Creation

Click the +Create button to complete the setup.

Once the account is created, you can access webmail via the following URLs:
