Setting up Your Workspace Email Using cPanel
You can set up email for a domain name hosted on a server using cPanel.
Configuring your server to use email for a domain name is a two-step process. First, make sure your server isn't configured to use its own email services for your domain name. Second, set the proper MX records for your domain name to use email. For more information, see Checking Your MX Record Settings in the Email Control Center.
