Setting up email for your domain in Plesk involves creating email accounts, configuring mail settings, and connecting your email client.

### Step 1: Check that mail service is enabled

1. Log in to **Plesk**.
2. Go to **Websites & Domains** → find your domain → **Mail Settings**.
3. Make sure the mail service is set to **Enabled** and click **OK**.

If you use an external mail service (e.g. Gmail or Microsoft 365), set the mail service to **Disabled** to avoid conflicts.

### Step 2: Create an email account

1. Go to **Mail** and click **Create Email Address**.
2. Enter the part before the @ sign (e.g. `info` for info@yourdomain.com).
3. Select the domain if you have more than one.
4. Set a mailbox size or leave the default.
5. Set a password and click **OK**.

### Step 3: Access your email

**Webmail:** Go to **Mail**, find your email address, and click the webmail icon.

**Email client (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.):**

- **Username:** your full email address
- **Password:** the password you set when creating the account
- **Incoming server:** your domain name (IMAP port 143 / SSL port 993, or POP3 port 110 / SSL port 995)
- **Outgoing server (SMTP):** your domain name (port 587, or SSL port 465)
- **Authentication:** required for outgoing mail

### Step 4: Configure mail bounce settings

1. Go to **Websites & Domains** → your domain → **Mail Settings**.
2. Under **Mail for non-existent users**, choose **Bounce**, **Forward to address**, or **Reject**.
3. Click **OK**.

### Optional: Enable DKIM signing

In **Mail Settings**, tick **Use DKIM spam protection system to sign outgoing email messages** and click **Apply**. This improves deliverability.

### Troubleshooting

- **Not receiving emails:** Check mail service is enabled, MX records point to your mail server, and the mailbox is not full.
- **Cannot send emails:** Confirm SMTP authentication is enabled in your email client and check with your provider for outgoing mail limits.
