How to access the Email section at Hostinger

When managing your email services at Hostinger, you’ll find everything you need in the Email section of your hPanel. Here’s a quick guide on what you can access and manage there.

You can link each domain (and all its mailboxes) to only one email subscription. This means you can’t split mailboxes from the same domain across different subscriptions: for example, mailbox-1@domain.tld and mailbox-2@domain.tld must be in the same email subscription 💡

Select the Emails area on the side bar of your hPanel:

And then click anywhere in the plan linked to the domain or subdomain you want to manage emails for:

Mailboxes

The Mailboxes page now consolidates all email management in one place:

Getting Started guide
Plan details (linked domain, expiration, plan name and limits)
Mailbox list with quick actions (webmail access, settings, password reset, forwarders, aliases, auto-reply)

You can reduce the number of mailbox slots in your paid email subscription directly in hPanel. Unused mailboxes can also be deleted without affecting your total slot count. 💡

Email Accounts

This section lists the most recently created email accounts under your current plan.

You can quickly access any of them by clicking the shortcut icon ⇲ next to the address, and to view all email accounts, click the View all emails option.

Domain Settings

Here, you can verify your domain’s connection to the email service. The system checks whether all necessary DNS records are correctly configured.

If everything is correctly set up, you’ll see a green status icon:
If any record is missing or incorrect, a warning icon will appear. You can click Add Records next to the status to fix the issue.

If your domain uses Hostinger’s nameservers and you are using Hostinger Email, you can fix DNS issues automatically by clicking Connect automatically.

If your domain is connected to external nameservers, on the “Connect Domain” tab, you can find the list of the required DNS records for Hostinger Email. You can then manually update them at your domain provider’s platform.
