You can create an email account in two different ways:

• Create a new user account (via the Users/Password section of SiteControl). An email account is set up automatically for that user. For details, see Creating a new user account.
  
  
• Create an email account via SiteControl's Email section and set up the new user account at the same time.

The following section provides detailed instructions for creating the new email account from the Email section of SiteControl.

To create a new email account:

1. In the SiteControl main window, click Email. The Email Management main page appears.
2. In the Email Addresses box, click the Create a New Email Address link. The Create Email Address page appears.
3. In the New Email Address field, enter the new name for the email account.
4. Select the New Account action and then click Add Action. The Add New User page appears.
5. Enter the user name and password for this account and then retype the password to confirm it.
6. For account type, select Email.
7. Click Add.

The new user account and corresponding email account are created.
