# How to create an email account in cPanel

You can easily create professional email accounts in cPanel. We recommend creating [info@yourdomain.au](mailto:info@yourdomain.au) (e.g. [info@letsgowebcentral.au](mailto:info@letsgowebcentral.au)) and [yourname@yourdomain.au](mailto:yourname@yourdomain.au) (e.g. [jane@letsgowebcentral.au](mailto:jane@letsgowebcentral.au)) as your first two emails. To create these emails:

1. [Log in to cPanel](https://support.webcentral.com.au/s/article/Getting-Started-with-cPanel-logging-in)

## How to log in to webmail

Webmail is an online email service that you can access with a web browser (Google, Safari, Firefox, Opera, etc.). Once you've created an email account in cPanel you can jump straight into webmail and start sending and receiving emails.

1. [Log in to cPanel](https://support.webcentral.com.au/s/article/Getting-Started-with-cPanel-logging-in)
2. Click **Email Accounts**
3. Click **Check Email**, next to the email account you want to log in to

![Check email](https://onlinesuccess.com.au/images/b8dd19837991629fb0ec960f546019ca.png)

4. In the top left-hand corner of the screen, under **roundcube**, click **Open**

* To stop this menu from appearing and log straight in to webmail when you click **Check Email,** tick the box **Open my inbox when I log in** and then click **Open**. Now the next time you visit webmail you'll log straight in
