# Disable cPanel account mailbox autocreation

`GET /Email/disable_mailbox_autocreate`

This function disables the system's ability to automatically create mailboxes for a cPanel account.

**Note:**

  When you **enable** the UAPI's `Email::enable_mailbox_autocreate` function, the system automatically creates mailboxes. The system creates a new mailbox when it receives an email address in [plus address format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Sub-addressing) and that mailbox does **not** exist. For example, receiving an email from the `user+newmailbox@example.com` address creates the `newmailbox` mailbox if the `newmailbox` mailbox does not exist.
