Email account passwords¶
Resetting an email account password (without the password)¶
- Login to the Fused client area
- Navigate to services > my services.
- Select
Active
on the far right next to the relevant web hosting account - Select
Email Accounts
underneath the quick shortcuts section. - Select the
Manage
link next to the relevant email account to reset the password. - Populate a new password beneath the
New Password
section. - Hit
Update Email Settings
link at the bottom of the page. All set!
You can then use the new password to access your email account.
If you have cPanel access...
Most account related features are readily available via cPanel, including resetting email account passwords. If you only have cPanel access, you can use the Email Accounts
section to manage accounts.
Changing an email account password (with the account's password)¶
- Login to webmail (generally, via your url but with /webmail/ attached — e.g.
example.com/webmail/
) - If you've successfully logged in, in the upper right select the dropdown (
email@example.com
) - Select
Password & Security
- Enter your new password into each field & hit save.
You can now wield that new password with the account immediately.
Email quotas¶
Increasing an email account's storage or quota is straightforward.
- Login to cPanel
- Navigate to
Email Accounts
- Next to the email account you wish to modify, select
Manage
- Adjust the storage as needed, we recommend giving accounts plenty of room to grow.
- Afterwards, hit
Update Email Settings
further down the page.
All set! You can modify quotas to your heart's content.
Email forwarders¶
Email forwarders allow you to setup aliases for accounts. For example, we might want sales@example.com
& info@example.com
to go to team@example.com
. Instead of configuring accounts for both sales & info, we could setup a forwarder to forward messages that arrive at those accounts to team@example.com
The advantage is that you end up with less accounts (and passwords) to manage.
Adding an email forwarder¶
- Login to cPanel
- Navigate to
Forwarders
- Select
Add Forwarder
- Populate the details as necessary and select
Add Forwarder
.
Managing email account quotas¶

- Login to cPanel
- Navigate to
Email Accounts
- Scroll down to the list of active email accounts, & select
Quota
next to the relevant one. - Plug in a new quota as desired & hit save.
