Log in to DirectAdmin and navigate to the ‘User Level’ (if you’re an admin or reseller). Click ‘Email Accounts’ under ‘Email Management’.
Next, click ‘Create mail account‘.
Then create the email address. You can set a limit here for the maximum size and amount of emails per day. To prevent your customers from intentionally or unintentionally sending spam, we recommend using this option.
DirectAdmin automatically creates the email address for the logged-in user. The log-in name for the webmail and the configuring of your email address in email software is for the logged-in user the username and not the actual email address!
Logging into the Webmail.
DirectAdmin uses Roundcube as a webmail server. You can use the webmail immediately after creating your email address by logging in to ‘yourdomain.com/roundcube‘. You use your email address and the password you created in the previous section to log in.
If your username (e.g. admin) is the same as the name of your email address (e.g. admin@example.com), you can only log in with the username (e.g. admin) and not with the name of your full email address (e.g. admin@example.com).
The use of the webmail itself falls outside the scope of this manual.
