How to create email accounts in your cPanel?
The same steps work for your primary, addon, and subdomains.

Fill in the name you want and select the domain name from the drop-down.
Type the desired password twice.
Change the quota if you want.
Click Create.
How to check your Email
Webmail is a great feature offered by cPanel. You can access email from any PC connected to the Internet. There are two ways to log into webmail supplied with cPanel.
1. Access webmail via direct link. (For Email Users)
2. Access webmail through cPanel (Administrator Access Only)
Access webmail via direct link. (For Email Users)
To access the webmail directly, type the following information into the browser.
If the domain name has been propagated type:
http://www.yourdomainname.com/webmail or
http://webmail.yourdomainname.com or
http://www.yourdomainname.com:2095
Once you go to the address above, you will be prompted for your user name and password. Be aware, it is not asking you for your cPanel user name and password. All email account user names look just like the email address.
Note: Please note that the login name and password are case-sensitive, and must appear as they display in your control panel.
In the user name section, type your full e-mail address (example: you@yoursite.com). In the password section, provide the password which you provided when you created the email account. Then hit enter. You are now logged into webmail.
Access webmail through cPanel (Administrator Access Only)
If you are the administrator and would like to access different email accounts through the cPanel, you may do the following:
1. Click on the Email Accounts icon (not the Webmail icon!)
2. Find the email account you wish to access in the list of email accounts.
3. To the right of the email account you want to access, click on More, and then click on Access Webmail.
4. An new page asking for your password will appear. Enter the correct password. (If you need to force your way in, you can reset the email password with the Change Password link on the previous page.)
5. Click on the web mail application that you would like to use.

You have now accessed your email through cPanel.
