How to create a POP email account in DirectAdmin

You’ve set up your website — now you need an email account to match. DirectAdmin’s E-Mail Manager makes it easy to create a new email account in a few clicks.

How to Create an Email Account #

1. Log in to your DirectAdmin control panel by accessing https://yourdomain:2222
2. Look for E-Mail Accounts (under E-mail Manager)
3. Click the Create Account button
4. Choose the Username, Password, Quota, and Send Limit (Quota is how large your email box can be / Send Limit is a throttle of how many emails can be sent in one day; 1000 is the default)
5. Click the Create Account button. The new account will be created, and you will receive a confirmation message: “Account created.“
6. Test it by accessing the account via a POP3/IMAP client or via the DirectAdmin panel -> Webmail: Roundcube, or by setting it up in a POP3/IMAP email client — see our setup guides for Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail (Mac), iPhone Mail, and Android email apps.
