# Create email account

`GET /Email/add_pop`

This function creates an email address.

**Important:**

  * When you disable the [*Receive Mail* role](https://go.cpanel.net/serverroles), the system **disables** this function.
  * We recommend that you use the UAPI `UserManager::create_user` function to create an email address instead of this function. This function is incompatible with [the *Reset Password* feature](https://go.cpanel.net/resetpassdocs).
  * You **must** URI-encode values when using the CLI.
