Simplify your life and reduce the time you spend on email by using cPanel to forward email to anaddress, such as one at Google Gmail that consolidates multiple email addresses and has more features.   There are a variety of scenarios that forwarding can be your friend and helpful assistant.  Some examples:

When you set your password, including on cPanel, or email accounts, be sure to select one that is hard to guess. But what does “hard to guess” mean?  
Take a look at The Top 500 Worst Passwords of All Time:
From the moment people started using passwords, it didn’t take long to realize how many people [...]

When you log into your webmail, there is now a link that says [ Enable AutoLoad ] under each webmail client.
Click the AutoLoad link under your preferred webmail client and when you log in in the future, that webmail client will automatically load instead of giving you the option to select webmail client.

Here are the login formats for cPanel and web-based email (can be any of NeoMail, Horde and SquirrelMail, depending on what is enabled on your server).
Remember to use the secure login when you are using a wireless internet connection that is not your own secured network.

Several people recently swore to me that SpamAssassin was broken. I checked the email filters they had set up and found some peskly self-inflicted problems. Here’s the problem so that you can hopefully [...]

Just where are those emails stored on your server? For emails that have been delivered, here is how:
Log into cPanel, click the “File Manager” icon. Go to the directory named (appropriately) “mail.” (Your “public_html” directory is at the same level directory as “mail.”) When you have only one, default, email set up, you will [...]

The previous post provided a command that deletes all emails sent to an email address. You can also use this command when you log directly into your server via ssh (assuming your hosting provides allows this type of access). I highly recommend SSH secure shell client.

You have an email inbox that is filled up. Or perhaps your “spam box” is filled up. You have so many emails to delete that it would take you forever to clear it out, page by page with NeoMail. One of my customers cried for help because of 35 MBs of spam that [...]

“I am not receiving all my email!” and “People are not receiving emails from me!” are common customer complaints. Sender tells recipient they sent an email. Recipient checks and does not see it. Blame the email service. Ditto for the reverse (not receiving an email you sent.)
