Address Importer in cPanel

This interface allows you to use two types of files to create multiple email addresses or forwarders for your account simultaneously. You may use Excel spreadsheet files (.xls) or comma-separated values sheet (CSV) files (.csv) to import data.

 

To Create the Import File

  1. Add a series of email addresses and passwords to your spreadsheet
  2. For each account forwarder, use a separate row in the spreadsheet or a new line in the plain text file to separate the information for each account or forwarder.
  3. Import the following information for each address or forwarder:
    • Usernames –  e.g. admin@cloudhost.com. You are not required to include the domain portion of the address (In the previous example, @example.com is the domain portion of the email address).
    • Passwords (to import email addresses).
    • Quotas – for example, 10 indicates 10 Megabytes.

You can also create your import file using a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. A .csv file is a plain text file with .csv extension. Use commas (,), periods (.), or any other character (delimiter), to separate the information that you wish to import for each account.
