Creating E-Mail Accounts in DirectAdmin

Creating custom e-mail accounts for your domain is a simple process in DirectAdmin. These accounts allow you to manage professional communication directly from your domain (e.g., info@yourdomain.com). Here's how you can set up new e-mail accounts:

Step 1: Access the E-Mail Menu

1. Log in to your DirectAdmin control panel.

2. Navigate to the E-Mail Menu.

3. Click on the "POP3 E-Mail Accounts" link.

Step 2: View Existing Accounts

• You will see a list of existing e-mail accounts.

• One default e-mail account already exists: username@yourdomain.com, where "username" is your control panel login name.

  • Note: This account is permanent and cannot be deleted.

  Screenshot Recommendation:
  Display the POP3 E-Mail Accounts page showing the default e-mail account.

Step 3: Create a New POP3 E-Mail Account

• Click the "Create POP3 Mail Account" button.
• A form will appear, prompting you to:
  • Enter a Username: Choose a unique username (e.g., sales, support).
  • Set a Password: Use a strong password for security.
• Click "Create" to finalize the account setup.

Step 4: Confirmation

• After creating the account, you will see a confirmation page showing the new e-mail address (e.g., support@yourdomain.com).

Important Notes

• Username Conflicts: You cannot create a POP3 account if the username is already taken by an autoresponder, forwarder, or mailing list.
• Account Management: Newly created accounts can be managed under the POP3 E-Mail Accounts menu for password changes, deletion, or quota adjustments.

Additional Tips

• Use descriptive usernames for clarity (e.g., billing, helpdesk).
• Ensure your password complies with security best practices.
• Test the new account to confirm functionality by sending and receiving e-mails.
