How do I add / configure an email address through cPanel

Steps
  1. Set the following in the "Add a New Email Account" section:

    • Password - Enter the password you want to use for the new email account.
    • Mailbox quota (optional) - Enter the amount in megabytes you want set for the amount of disk space allocated to the new email account. We suggest keeping to the 250 MB suggested.
