1. Log in to AMS Control Panel as owner, or as a user with the "Manage e-mail accounts" permission turned on.
2. Click the "E-mail" category tab, then click the "Manage e-mail accounts" link at left.
3. Select a domain name from the drop-down list. Select "Add a new e-mail account", and click "Next".
4. Enter the first part of the e-mail address you want to create (the part before the "@" sign).
