What is Default email account in cPanel and how do I delete it from server?

In Linux’s control panel default email address appears under the Default Email Account heading. The system creates this special email account when your hosting provider creates your cPanel account. The account’s username and password are identical to your cPanel account name and password.

If you configures this address to server as a catch-all address for all mail that invalid usernames in your domain receive, it may receive a large amount of spam.

You can check and delete the mail that this account receives. To do this through webmail, click Access Webmail and select your desired webmail application.

You can also use this account to send mail. To do this through webmail, click Access Webmail and select your desired webmail application.

The actual address of the account is account@example.com, where account represents your account username. You cannot rename, delete, or place a quota on the default account. We recommend that you create a separate email account for daily use.

This address is also the default From and Reply-to address of outgoing email that your account’s PHP scripts send.

To Access Default email account you can follow below procedure,
—-

Login to cPanel
Click on Email Accounts under Emails
Choose Default Address section
Click on Manage

Once you click manage you can view or delete and access emails which is available under Default email account.
