Creating a new email account on my VPS in Plesk
In this guide, we'll show you how to create a new email address for your domain on your VPS in Plesk.

Note: To ensure your Managed VPS services work correctly in Plesk, you need to configure the correct DNS settings. We have gathered this information in our guide: How to connect to your Managed VPS services via DNS
Step 1 - Access your Plesk Control Panel
Via your one.com Control Panel, click on VPS in the top menu located at the center. Click the Cloud Server you want to manage.
From the VPS panel, you click on the Plesk button below Shortcuts.
Step 2 - Click Create Email Address
Once in the Plesk Control Panel, locate the Mail option in the menu on the left, then click the blue Create Email Address button.
Step 3 - Enter your email information
Fill out the required fields and click OK. Other customization options are also available, but they are not required to create the email address.
Step 4 - Email created
Once your new email address has been created, you can use it either via Webmail or a third-party client, like Outlook or Thunderbird.
Step 5 - Your mail server settings
Depending on the email client you're using, the setup will be different, but usually you need the following settings:
Username: your full email address
Password: the one you set when you created your account
Incoming server: Your domain name
Incoming server port: 993
Outgoing server: Your domain name
Outgoing server port: 465
Outgoing server authentication: same username and password as the incoming server
We recommend using IMAP to set up your email account because it synchronises your emails across all devices and Webmail. Unlike POP, which downloads your emails and removes them from the server and Webmail.
If you prefer to use POP, you need the following settings for the incoming server:
- Incoming server: Your domain name
- Port: 995
- Encryption: SSL
