cPanel Features
Mail Manager:
This is where you manage your Email settings. The following options are available inside the Mail Manager:
Web Mail:
Allows you to read your email messages online.
Add/Remove Accounts:
Click this option to add and/or remove email accounts.
Default Address:
The default address is the email address where all unrouted email messages will be sent. This is also called a "Catch All Email Address." For Example, if your master username is "john" your default address will be john@yourdomain.com. Now, lets assume that someone sends an email to mary@yourdomain.com and you have not created an email account for mary, that particular message will arrive at your default address of john@yourdomain.com.

Auto Responders are messages that are automatically sent to each person who sends you an email. This feature is useful when you know you will not be reading or responding to incoming email massages for a period of time.
