Removing the mystery about the
"Main Account Email" address!

What is the "Main Account Email" address?
This is the main account for the user name the system created the hosting account.

The "Main Account" in your Cpanel is not a true POP3 email account.  To make it a true email account you need to create an email account with the same name. NOTE: If you do not make this account a true pop3 account this email account will fill up with server email like bounced emails from spammers. This will steal disk space from your account!  If your account goes over your disk limit all email and ftp will stop working! Setting the default email address will not stop this email account form filling up. There is only one way to disable it.
