# How do I create an email account in DirectAdmin?

With DirectAdmin, you can easily create personalized email accounts (e.g. info@yourdomain.com) for your domain.

**Steps to create a new email account:**

1. Log in to **DirectAdmin**.
2. Under the **E-Mail Manager** section, click on **E-Mail Accounts**.
3. Click the **Create Account** button.
4. Fill in the details:
   - **Username:** Choose the part before `@yourdomain.com` (e.g. `info`).
   - **Password:** Create a strong password, or use the “Random” generator.
   - **Email Quota (MB):** Set a limit or choose unlimited.
5. Click **Create** to finish.

**Accessing your email:**

- **Webmail:** Log in via `https://yourdomain.com/webmail` using your full email address and password.
- **Email client (Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, etc.):**
  - **Incoming server (IMAP):** mail.yourdomain.com, port 993, SSL enabled
  - **Outgoing server (SMTP):** mail.yourdomain.com, port 465, SSL enabled
  - **Username:** full email address (e.g. info@yourdomain.com)
  - **Password:** the password you created

**Tips:**

- IMAP is recommended so emails stay synced across all devices.
- If you have trouble sending mail, ensure SMTP authentication is enabled in your mail client.
