Do you have any questions that I can help you with?
1. When your account was created an email will have been sent out to the contact email address with information regarding the Plesk control panel. If you have mis-placed your details please contact support and they will re-issue the email. This email contains the unique address which we can use to create and modify email accounts.
For security reasons this can not be done under the normal website control panel as more than one person could have access to these
2. Open your favourite web browser and navigate to the address supplied on the email. Accepting any security certificates that may appear. Once you get there you should be greeted by a login box like the one shown below.

9. This is where we enter all the information regarding the email address that you want to create.
Enter the username in the 'Mail Name' box, remember that the username is everything before the @ symbol in the email address. Capitalisation does not matter and please keep in mind that usernames can only contain letters, numbers, hyphens (-), underscores (_) and periods (.). No spaces or other special characters are allowed and usernames cannot begin with a number.
Enter the desired password for the email user in the next two text boxes. If the password is a dictionary based word you may get a pop-up that says something like 'Unable to set password'. This is a security measure as dictionary words should never be used as passwords.
Make sure the box next to 'Mailbox' is checked. You can set the mailbox quota here as well as enable spam filtering. Click 'OK'. The email account has been successfully created
