Default Setting up email accounts for your users
Does anyone know of a product that would tie into your forum and hosting cpanel to allow creation of email accounts for your forum users?

Now I know I can do this all manually but it's a royal pain in the arse.

It sure is; there's no way I would offer free email accounts. Maybe if someone were willing to pay $10/mo I would do it manually.

Anyway, I am unaware of any mod that would do it automatically.

I'd like to offer the whole experience TBH, emails would be a great addition providing it could be automated.

Via your hosting cPanel, you should see email options.

From your web hosting control panel.

No, that would require a major rewrite of the vb code. Not to mention it would add tons of strain to your server. I mean, can you even imagine trying to give your members anywhere near the 7.5gigs of mail storage gmail currently offers? And can you imagine any of them really trusting you enough to not lose their emails?
