An email at your own domain (e.g. [email protected]) looks more trustworthy than a Gmail address.
Create the mailbox
- Open cPanel → Email Accounts.
- Click Create.
- Pick the username part (e.g.
hello) and your domain. - Set a strong password — at least 12 characters with numbers and symbols.
- Set a mailbox size. Unlimited is fine if your plan allows it.
- Click Create.
You're done
The mailbox is live immediately. You can:
- Read mail in Webmail (a browser tab — no setup).
- Add it to Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail or your phone — see the separate articles.
Sending a test email
Send yourself a message from your personal Gmail and reply from Webmail to confirm both directions work. If the test email lands in spam, check the article on fixing email delivery.
