If you buy groceries, you might find yourself providing an email address for their discounts. Your gas station, church, doctor, favorite restaurant, or gym all want to have your email address so that they can reach you to provide information or advertising. With everyone carrying a smartphone, emails are almost live communications and available to you where ever your phone can get a connection.<\/p>\n<p>As of 2018, over 3 billion people now use email. This is a far cry from the humble beginnings of email where it was a project of ARPANET in the early \u201970s. An email account is an important element of your contact information that is often a requirement for many activities in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Your InMotion website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedhosting.in\/cpanel-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hosting<\/a> subscription includes access to an email server. You can create email accounts that reflect your website\u2019s domain name, access your email from a free web-based email client, or use the email client of your choice (e.g. Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Apple Mail).<\/p>\n<p>This guide includes the following information:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Creating an Email Account in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedhosting.in\/cpanel-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Next Steps\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Getting Started With Email<\/li>\n<li>Migrating Email From Another Host<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"create-email-account\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create an Email Account in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedhosting.in\/cpanel-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cPanel<\/a><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to the cPanel.<\/li>\n<li>Click the\u00a0<strong>Email Accounts<\/strong>\u00a0icon in the\u00a0<em>Email<\/em>\u00a0section.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-942 size-full\" title=\"How to Create an Email Account in cPanel\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.trustedhosting.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Selection_1705.webp\" alt=\"How to Create an Email Account in cPanel\" width=\"875\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webystrata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Selection_1705.webp 875w, https:\/\/www.webystrata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Selection_1705-300x87.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.webystrata.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Selection_1705-768x224.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You will then see the Email Accounts page.
