-
Log in to your Plesk Control Panel.
-
In the left-hand sidebar, click on "Mail" or "Email" (depending on your Plesk version).
-
On the Mail or Email page, click on the "Create Email Address" or "Add Email Account" button. A new form will appear where you'll need to enter the details for the new email account.
-
Enter a username for the new email account in the "Email Address" or "Mailbox" field. Note that you'll need to select the domain you want to create the email account for from the dropdown menu (e.g., "username@example.com").
-
Choose a strong password for the new email account and enter it in the "Password" field. You may also use the "Generate" button to create a strong, random password. Confirm the password by entering it again in the "Confirm Password" field.
-
Set the mailbox size quota. By default, the mailbox size might be set to "Unlimited" or defined by your hosting plan. If you want to limit the mailbox size, uncheck the "Unlimited" box (if applicable) and enter the desired mailbox size in megabytes.
-
Configure additional settings (optional):
- Forwarding: If you want to forward incoming emails to another email address, enable the "Forward incoming mail" option and enter the destination email address(es).
- Auto-reply: To set up an automatic reply for incoming emails, enable the "Switch on auto-reply" option and configure the auto-reply message, subject, and other settings as needed.
-
Click on the "OK" or "Create" button to save the changes and create the new email account. The new account will now appear in the list of email accounts.
You've successfully created an email account in Plesk Control Panel. You can now access the email account using an email client (such as Outlook, Thunderbird, or Apple Mail) or the webmail interface provided by Plesk (usually accessible via "webmail.example.com" or "example.com/webmail," where "example.com" is your domain name).
