Setting up a professional email address is a fundamental step in establishing your online presence. Whether you are launching a new business or managing a personal project, having a domain-specific email (like info@yourdomain.com) builds credibility and keeps your communications organized. If you are using DirectAdmin as your hosting control panel, creating a new mailbox is a seamless process. This guide will walk you through the steps to configure your email accounts efficiently, ensuring your communication channels are up and running in minutes.

Quick Steps

1. Log in to your DirectAdmin panel
2. Navigate to the Email Manager section
3. Select Email Accounts
4. Click the Create Account button
5. Enter your credentials and mailbox limits
6. Save your settings to finish

Follow the step-by-step instructions below to create email accounts in your DirectAdmin interface.

Upon logging in to your DirectAdmin dashboard, scroll to the Email Manager category. Look for the Email Accounts icon. This section is your central hub for managing all existing mailboxes and adding new ones to your domain.

Once you are in the Email Accounts interface, you will see a list of any current accounts. To start the setup for a new user, locate and click the Create Account button, usually found in the top right corner of the workspace.

A configuration form will appear. To ensure your new email functions correctly, fill in the following details:

• Username: Enter the prefix you want (e.g., “info” or “support”). The domain suffix will be added automatically.

• Password: Enter a secure password. We recommend using the built-in password generator to ensure high security.

• Email Quota (MB): Define the maximum disk space this account can use. For example, entering 1024 assigns 1GB of storage.

• Send Limit: This is an optional field that allows you to set a daily limit on outbound emails to prevent spam abuse.
