### How to Create a New Email Account in cPanel
Creating a new email account for your domain on your gptservers.net hosting account is straightforward using cPanel. This allows you to set up professional email addresses (e.g., `info@yourdomain.com`) for use with webmail or email clients like Outlook or Gmail.
#### Prerequisites
- **cPanel Access**: Log in to cPanel at `https://yourdomain.com/cpanel` or via your gptservers.net Client Area.
- **Domain**: Ensure you have a domain associated with your hosting account (primary, addon, or parked).
- **Quota and Limits**: Check your hosting plan’s email account limits in cPanel > **Email Accounts** > **Manage Email Accounts**.
#### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. **Log in to cPanel**:
- Access cPanel using your credentials (provided in your gptservers.net welcome email).
2. **Navigate to Email Accounts**:
- In the **Mail** section of the cPanel dashboard, click the **Email Accounts** icon.
3. **Create a New Email Account**:
- Click the **Create** button (or **+ Create** in newer cPanel versions).
- **Domain**: Select the domain for the email account from the dropdown (e.g., `yourdomain.com` if you want `name@yourdomain.com`).
- **Username**: Enter the desired email prefix (e.g., `info` for `info@yourdomain.com`).
- **Password**: Set a strong password (at least 12 characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols). Alternatively, click **Generate** to create a secure password automatically and save it securely.
- **Storage Space**: Choose a quota (e.g., 250 MB, 1 GB, or unlimited, depending on your hosting plan). For unlimited, select **Unlimited** or leave blank if allowed.
- (Optional) **Send Welcome Email**: Check this box to receive setup instructions (recommended for first-time users).
4. **Save the Email Account**:
- Click **Create** or **Create Account** to finalize. You’ll see a confirmation message like:
*Account Created: info@yourdomain.com was successfully created.*
5. **Verify and Access the Email**:
- Return to **Email Accounts** to see the new account listed.
- Click **Check Email** next to the account to access webmail (e.g., RoundCube, Horde, or SquirrelMail). Log in with the email address and password.
- Alternatively, configure the email in a client like Outlook or Gmail (see below for settings).
#### Email Client Configuration Settings
To set up the email account in a desktop or mobile email client:
- **Incoming Mail Server**:
- **Server**: `mail.yourdomain.com`
- **IMAP Port**: 993 (SSL/TLS) or 143 (no encryption)
- **POP3 Port**: 995 (SSL/TLS) or 110 (no encryption)
- **Username**: Full email address (e.g., `info@yourdomain.com`)
- **Password**: The password set during creation
- **Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)**:
- **Server**: `mail.yourdomain.com`
- **Port**: 587 (TLS) or 465 (SSL)
- **Authentication**: Required (use the same username/password as incoming)
- **Security**: Use SSL/TLS for secure connections (recommended). If issues arise, try STARTTLS or non-secure settings (port 25 for SMTP, 143 for IMAP, 110 for POP3).
Find these settings in cPanel > **Email Accounts** > **Set Up Mail Client** next to the account.
#### Testing the Email Account
- Send a test email from webmail or your configured client to an external address (e.g., a personal Gmail account).
- Reply to the test email to confirm incoming and outgoing functionality.
- Check the spam/junk folder if the email doesn’t appear in the inbox.
#### Troubleshooting
- **Cannot Create Account**: Ensure you haven’t exceeded your plan’s email account limit. Check cPanel > **Email Accounts** > **Manage Email Accounts** for quota details.
- **Login Fails**: Verify the email address and password. Reset the password via **Email Accounts** > **Manage** > **Change Password** if needed.
- **Emails Not Sending/Receiving**: Confirm server settings and ports. Ensure your domain’s DNS (MX records) points to `mail.yourdomain.com` (check in cPanel > **Advanced DNS Zone Editor**). Contact support@gptservers.net if issues persist.
- **DNS Propagation**: If the domain was recently added, allow 24–48 hours for DNS to propagate.
- **Deliverability Issues**: Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in cPanel > **Email Deliverability** to reduce spam flagging.
#### Additional Tips
- **Autoresponders**: Set up automatic replies via cPanel > **Autoresponders** (see earlier guide).
- **Webmail Access**: Use `https://yourdomain.com/webmail` to log in directly.
- **Email Forwarding**: Create forwarders in cPanel > **Forwarders** to redirect emails to another address.
- **Spam Protection**: Enable SpamAssassin in cPanel > **Spam Filters** for better spam management.
