Setting up Your Email Account in the Email Control Center
If you purchased an email plan or have existing free email credits, you can set up custom email addresses using your domain name.
After completing the set up process, your new email account and addresses should be ready to use within 90 minutes. You can log in at email.secureserver.net.
