After adding an email domain to your website you can begin adding mailboxes.
To add a mailbox:

- Click Add new Mailbox.
When you arrive at the Mailbox page:
- (Optional) In the Name field, enter the name of the person assigned to the mailbox.
- In the Email field;
a) create an email alias in the Alias field. (E.g. john'doe)
b) from the Domain dropdown list, select a domain to point the mailbox to. (E.g. qwert.us)
3. In the Password field, create a password for the mailbox. (If you click Generate Password a strong password will be randomly created for you.)
4. In the Repeat Password field, re enter the password that you created in the previous step.
5. In the Quota field, enter the maximum disk space available for the mailbox in MB.
6. (Optional) In the Send copy to field, enter a recipient to recieve an email copy.
From the Spamfilter dropdown list, select a filtering option.
8. Select the Enable Receiving checkbox to activate receiving functionality for your mailbox. To deactivate the receiving functionality for your mailbox unselect the checkbox.

You have now created your first email account. In addition to regular mailboxes, HostPath allows you to create more advanced tools such as domain aliases, email aliases, forwarding emails, and email catchalls. For the next article, we will cover how to setup a domain alias.
