# How to create and modify mailboxes with SiteWorx

The number of email accounts that can be created for your domain depends on your service plan. Contact our support team if you have questions regarding the number of email accounts that you can configure for your hosting account.

After you have created an email account, you will be able to modify specific properties, such as password or quota. However, you will not be able to change the actual email address, for example, joe@example.com. If you need to change the email address, you will have to create a new email account with the desired name and then delete the original email account.

## Creating mailboxes

1. Log in to SiteWorx. 
    - If you do not know your password, click **Forgot your password** on the login page.
2. From the SiteWorx main menu, click **Hosting Features > Email > Mailboxes**.
3. Type the desired name for your email address in the **Email Address** field.
4. Type your password in the **Password** field and re-enter it in the **Confirm Password** field (see above).
5. By default, the value for **Disk Space Quota** is set to **Unlimited**. If you would like to set a specific quota for the email account, clear the **Unlimited** check box and then enter the desired amount in megabytes.
6. If you want to send a copy of all messages to a different email address, type that email address in the **Send Copy To** field. New messages will be delivered to this email account.
7. If one or more email groups exists for your domain, they are listed under the **Send Copy to** field. If you want to assign the new email address to a group, click the corresponding check box. For more information about email groups, refer to [How to create and manage email groups](https://docs.nexcess.com/sites-stores/control-panel/interworx/siteworx/email-management/email-groups/).
8. Click **Add.**

## Editing and deleting mailboxes

After you have successfully created an email account, you can modify the settings by clicking **Edit**. You can also delete email accounts my clicking **Delete**.
