Setting up Your Email Account in the Email Control Center

Date Submitted: 3-4-2013

After purchasing an email plan or receiving free email credits, you can set up custom email addresses using your domain name.

After completing these steps, your new email account and addresses should be ready to use within 90 minutes. You can log in at email.secureserver.net.

If you need information to set up your account with an email client, you might also see Android: Setting up Email, Using a BlackBerry with Your Email, or Outlook 2010: Setting up Email.

NOTE: To set up multiple email addresses at once for the same domain name, see Creating Multiple Email Addresses at Once. If you're using the updated control panel, called the Workspace Control Center, please see Creating Email Addresses in the Workspace Control Center.
