a massive list of users in a spreadsheet instead of through cPanel directly. You can then
import your spreadsheet with the method described below. For users managing multiple
email accounts, keeping all email addresses and passwords in a spreadsheet may
prove helpful.

Using a Simple .CSV File Instead of Excel

Spreadsheet
You can use an Excel Spreadsheet for your email content, but cPanel gives non-Excel
users a simpler method for creating a sheet with any basic text editor. Below are some
examples you can follow. Make sure to save these files with a .csv extension.

For importing email addresses:

Email,Password,Quota
joe@example.com,1234,10
tim@example.com,4567,8
brad@example.com,8910,10

For importing email forwarders:

Source,Target
info@example.com,joe@example.com
support@example.com,tim@example.com
about@example.com,brad@example.com

How to Import your CSV or Excel Spreadsheet into

cPanel
Once you have your spreadsheet or CSV file ready to import, follow along with the steps
below:
