Quick start

1. To manage email, log in to BrainyCP control panel on your VPS.
2. Go to Mail → Mailboxes.

Create a mailbox

To create a new email account:

1. Fill the required parameters:
   • Email — the local part of the email address.
   • Domain — choose a domain from the list of available options. Additionally, the Custom domain option is available to manually specify your own domain.
   • Password — password for accessing the mailbox.
   • Quota — limit on the maximum storage size of the mailbox (MB). Quotas help control the size of the mail storage to prevent the mailbox from taking up too much space on the server.
   • DKIM / SPF — additional records used to ensure proper mail sending, authenticate the sender, and reduce the likelihood of emails being flagged as spam. For more details, refer to our article: DKIM and SPF in BrainyCP.
2. Click Add.
