Now fill out the details in the form choosing the email account name and password you want, you can also set the disk space limits for the account including the email send limit.

You may set the ‘quota’ your disk space limit to unlimited and leave the send limits as default unless you are sending high amounts of email.

Complete

You can now hit the ‘create account’ icon and you will get a popup box reminding you of the email account details. This will also give you the SMTP and mail server information for your mail client.
