I was wondering if anyone besides me uses the email account that is included with cPanel. I use it as the webmaster email account.
Who actually uses their cPanel Email?!
i dont use it im afraid of the spammer....though it has a spam assasin...not yet sure... 
I don't use it, it's too much trouble. besides, what would be the point in having several different e-mail accounts?
I don;t use Cpanel Email account.
But some times,it is needed,such as your need to prove your webmaster right

I prefer to use my gmail since i have stick to it for some time.
yes... i use horde all the time 
cPanel is nice to walk in from time to time ... I have used it as my file managing tool for some time when I could not access my files through any other ftp client but that is not the easiest way to work. It can be nice to read the stats from time to time, and bluntly manage all what there is to config (users,...)
I would not have a hosting where I cannot have cPanel

I still use my Gmail account for all personal stuff. But I can fetch my new mail from Gmail if I want to.
I just made a
admin@<domain>.com and it redirects to my gmail.

I check all my email addresses(gmail included) from outlook. that includes both the emails I have set up under my domain name, as well as several others.

I like your thinking.
Ordinarily, I would do the same, but for some strange reason, Outlook has never been able to connect to any of my email accounts. I have though, recently been considering using Thunderbird.
Noobie4life, does your redirect/forward show who the original sender is?

I dont use frihostuser@frihost.com but I have a few IMAP accounts for blog management.
SpamAssassin is easy to use until you start teaking it. If spam is a major concern for you, especially if you have no email etiquette, then perhaps we can convince Bondings to install Razor and DCC!
- Set your SA threashold to 3.2
- enable the SPAM box
-- this is most advantageous to IMAP use
- set all your domains default address to:
:fail:
I'm way to lazy to use more than one email account.I use my hotmail one even though I have Gmail since whenever I get email it just goes straight to hotmail and all I have to is log on to MSN(which i'm usally always on).
Hell I'm way to lazy to even check my email >.<

I use the email sometimes. But when I buy a domain I will use it even more because I dont like having th eemail whatever@xorcist.frihost.com

cPanel's configuration of the default webmail clients bugs me. SO much so that I've started using the latest dev builds of
http://ilohamail.org/main.php
The dev builds add GREAT filtering POWER, and proper handling of cPanel's SpamBox for IMAP. It's also easy to setup in SQL mode.
I dont, only because I dont own a domain...
Because, with my SubDomain it would be like.
postmaster@cheesegames.frihost.net
Far, Far to Long.

I use it sometimes only... Just to prevent spam in my main email account
We have e-mail accounts O.o I won't use it though I don't have any need to.
I'm using the webmaster email ID. I keep getting one spam or the other, but even any free email services are the same. They all come with spam emails. So, i don't really mind it, since this way I can have email using my own domain. Thanks to frihost.

btw, shwetanshu nice avatar, i am jealous 
hehe
btw, shwetanshu nice avatar, i am jealous heheI would use it if we got more space with webhosting because I get a lot of emails.
Also, I would use the pop3 feature because I hate logging in twice. First to cpanel, then to webmail. (I can't remember the url to webmail)

how can you please teach me...
I've never used the email account on the cpanel before. Way too cumbersome and way too slow. Wait. Thats just my laptop.
1. Login to cpanel. I'm sure you made a mail account.
Now select this
Then select this
Then select add a new filter
Do this
Done.
I sure deserve some cookies for spending 15 mins.

Though I don't use it, I think it is useful for Intranet users to send messages. The interface is web-based which is easy to use.

no, no they don't. Poor email etiquette is the most common cause of spam receiption. Your account it YOURS. Don't tolerate people abusing YOUR stuff.
Have clueless friends who like to mass forward barrels of crap email? And put YOUR address in either the TO or CC fields? Smack them around. REQUIRE them to put YOUR address in BCC.

Have you tried fetching your email IMAP style? (Please don't ask me, "What's that?" when you're perfectly capable of looking up an answer yourself)

Um you could use email filtering, or you could write an entire mail handling suite.... or you could use, gee, I dunno, forwarders
click mail icon
click forwarders
click add forwarder
pick your domain, enter "admin" (or greenmonkey, or sunnylovesyou, or whatever) in the first field, and the address to which you'd like messages forwarded in the second field
click the add button, and see the summary screens.
tada!
I do not use the assigned email address by the server, no.
I create my own to use for differnet uses.
Say if I have a forum I create forum@demonzofheaven.com instead of just using phpwizar@demonzofheaven.com.
Note: these email address do NOT work; they are not setup.

Noobie, does the forwarder show you the original sender's email??
When it comes to mail sent to my domain, I think the mail offered through Frihost's cPanel is great! They even give you 3 web clients to access it with. Problem-free, fast and excellent spam filters. Other then space limitation, i think its a better setup than Gmail.
well one of the reasons why i want a frihost account is:
i want email accounts with my domain (eg. user@mydomain.ch)
there are not many free webhosters who provide such a nice service...!

The Squirrel mail is a pretty neat client, clean interface too.
I can invite you to Gmail if you want.
Just PM me your email address.On my other free hosting account (at a different host), I use my cPanel email. I turned on the 'Catchall' feature, so everytime I sign up for a site I use a different email (eg. websitename [at] dansoftaustralia.net, etc). All these go to my main account (dansoft [at] dansoftaustralia.net). Then, if I ever get spam, I know what site caused the spam
Otherwise, I don't really use my cPanel email much (for the site I have hosted here). On my previous host, I suddenly received 300 spam/virus emails in the period of about 5 seconds. Needless to say, my host's server slowed down considerably. I have no idea why this happened (that was the only time it's ever happened). Now, I still get some spam emails (all 'Important Business Notice'-type emails)
What's wrong with different email accounts? I've got heaps of email accounts (old ISP, new ISP, dansoft australia, stickboarder, school, yahoo, gmail and one more I can't remember)
