To change it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click <strong>Manage<\/strong> next to the email address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under <strong>Storage<\/strong>, check <strong>Current Storage Use<\/strong> to see how much space it already takes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter a new size in <strong>Allocated Storage Space<\/strong>, or select <strong>Unlimited<\/strong> if your host offers it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Update Email Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sensible limit stops one busy inbox from eating all your hosting space. But don&#8217;t set it too tight. When a mailbox fills up, new emails bounce back to the sender with a &#8220;mailbox full&#8221; error, and you won&#8217;t know you missed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Storage<\/strong> column on the main page shows how full your email accounts in cPanel are, so it&#8217;s worth a quick glance now and then. cPanel&#8217;s guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cpanel.net\/cpanel\/email\/manage-email-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">managing an email account<\/a> explains every storage and restriction setting in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Manage_Access_to_Email_Accounts_in_cPanel\"><\/span>Step 4: Manage Access to Email Accounts in cPanel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Restrictions<\/strong> section on the <strong>Manage<\/strong> page lets you control email accounts in cPanel without deleting them.

If you set up the domain as an addon domain, our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/subdomain-and-addon-domain-in-cpanel\/\">subdomains and addon domains in cPanel<\/a> helps you confirm it&#8217;s configured correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_email_accounts_can_I_create_in_cPanel\"><\/span>How many email accounts can I create in cPanel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on your hosting plan. Some plans allow unlimited email accounts in cPanel, while others set a fixed number. Your plan details or your host can confirm the limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_rename_an_email_account_in_cPanel\"><\/span>Can I rename an email account in cPanel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Create a new email address with the name you want, move any mail you need, and then delete the old one. A forwarder from the old email address can catch anything sent to it in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_deleting_email_accounts_in_cPanel_also_delete_their_emails\"><\/span>Does deleting email accounts in cPanel also delete their emails?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The account and all its stored messages are removed permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_cant_I_delete_the_default_email_account\"><\/span>Why can&#8217;t I delete the default email account?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s the system account linked to your cPanel username, so cPanel doesn&#8217;t allow it to be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_use_Gmail_to_read_my_cPanel_email\"><\/span>Can I use Gmail to read my cPanel email?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Use the settings from <strong>Connect Devices<\/strong> to add the email address to Gmail or any other mail app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Managing email accounts in cPanel is straightforward once you know where to find the right options. Use <strong>Create<\/strong> to set up new email addresses, <strong>Manage<\/strong> to update passwords and storage limits or control access, and <strong>Check Email<\/strong> to open your inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before deleting an account, make sure you no longer need its emails and consider disabling access first. This is especially important when an employee leaves your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep passwords secure, set appropriate storage limits, and review account access regularly. These simple habits will help you keep your business email organized, secure, and ready to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A professional email address like info@yourdomain.com helps build trust and gives your business a more credible online presence&hellip;","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1396,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_volume":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,13],"tags":[103,100,101,102],"class_list":["post-1387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-domain-email","category-web-hosting","tag-business-email","tag-cpanel-email","tag-email-accounts","tag-webmail","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1387"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1387\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1395,"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1387\/revisions\/1395"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kailashcloud.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
