Email Accounts in Parked Domains

Email accounts can be created for parked domains. Check the Email knowledgebase to learn how to set up an email account for a parked domain.

When you remove the parked domain, email accounts that are associated with the parked domain will no longer appear in the cPanel interface. However, the contents for this email account still exist in the mail folder of the user's home directory: home/username/mail.

• If the domain is added back to the same account as the primary domain, an addon domain, or a parked domain, the email accounts will reappear in the cPanel interface.
• If the domain is moved to a different account, the email accounts will need to be added to the new account manually, and the contents of the email account will also need to be moved manually. The email accounts will need to follow the same format that they previously had: same name and same domain.
