Edit Email Account

Edit Email Account changes mailbox identity, password, quota, or status inside the selected account.

Where to find it: Open the account, choose Email Accounts, then open Edit Email Account.

Available to: The account user for their own account, plus root or the owning reseller when working inside that account. The item may be hidden when its feature profile or required service is disabled.

What this page does

Use Edit Email Account for the selected hosting account. SHM checks role, ownership, feature availability, limits, and target identifiers before it accepts a change.

Before you start

Mail changes affect delivery and sometimes existing client connections. Confirm the exact address or domain, preserve credentials, and use delivery reports or the queue to verify the result.

Why use it — and when not to

Use Edit Email Account for the selected account or server mail workflow. Use DNS Manager, Services, Mail Queue, or Delivery Reports instead when the problem belongs to delegation, service installation, queued transport, or delivery evidence.

How to use it

1. Open Edit Email Account in the correct role and confirm the selected target.
2. Review the current values before editing them.
3. Change only the fields required for the task and read any confirmation carefully.
4. Wait for a final result, then test the affected service or resource.

Result and next check

A successful action updates only the selected account resource. Confirm the on-page result, then test the affected domain, mailbox, database, application, file, certificate, or job from the customer's point of view.
