How to change or delete your Hostinger Email username address

Rename or remove your email address with Hostinger Email

Updated this week

Currently, it’s not possible to rename or change the username of an existing email address (e.g., from info@yourdomain.com to contact@yourdomain.com) directly in Hostinger Email.

To use a different name, you need to delete the existing mailbox and create a new one with your desired email address.

How to Delete an Email Account

To remove the existing mailbox:

  1. Go to the Emails section of hPanel.

2. Select the email plan where the mailbox is located

3. In the Email Accounts section, find the email address you want to change and click on the ellipsis ⋮ button next to the email account to find more options

4. Click Delete from the side menu and confirm

⚠️ Deleting a mailbox will remove all its emails permanently. Be sure to back up any important information before proceeding - How to Export Emails From Hostinger Email
