The first step in adding/removing email accounts is to log into Cpanel via your preferred browser. The address is www.(yourdomain).com/cpanel or www.(yourdomain).com:2082 (where yourdomain is the domain name you signed up for. Once you are logged into Cpanel click on the Mail Icon in the upper left corner.

In this menu you will see your Main Account user name (the one you were assigned when you signed up with Modo). this is the account where all unassigned email addresses will go to. For example, if your domain is blah.com and your Main Account name is blah then (anything)@blah.com will end up in this Main Account mailbox (e.g. ‘iggy@blah.com’ or ‘trudie@blah.com). Here we want to start by creating a new email account, so click on "Add Account".

In the Add Mail Account menu, type in your preferred account name, password, and disk space quota you wish to assign to the new email account. The default quota of 10 megabytes should be plenty, unless you plan on receiving a lot of file attachments, in which case you can increase your quota. The password can be anything you like; for security purposes we reccomend that you use a combination of upper and nower case letters and/or numbers in your password. If you make a mistake, you can click the Clear button to start over. Once you have successfully entered in your new email address and password, click Create.

You are then presented with this confirmation screen. When configuring your email client, make sure to use the format ‘username+domain.com’ for the account. If you put in the username alone, you will receive an error message when you try to check the account. Click Go Back to return to the Mail Account Maintenance Menu.

Once back in the Mail Account Maintenance Menu, you now see the new email account you just created. You may add as many additional accounts as you like. To delete an account, simply click Delete next to the account name. Click Configure Mail Client for automated and manual configuation info.

If you use Microsoft’s Outlook or Outlook Express, click on the Auto-Configuration option for POP3 access (not IMAP). The settings for POP and SMTP servers are the same. Again, using the example of blah.com, the incoming (POP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers would both be mail.blah.com. More detailed information regarding email client configuration for both Mac and PC platforms is covered in our Support page.
