Here's how to get started with HostGator Email.

i. If you want to host email on HostGator shared hosting server, you need to create and manage your email accounts using cPanel. You can also access your email via webmail or configure it on your phone or computer using an email client. Here are some steps and resources to help you with the process:

- Log into your HostGator cPanel and click on the Email Accounts icon.
- Create a new email account by entering your desired username, password, and quota.
- Access your email via webmail by typing [www.example.com/webmail](^2^) in your browser, where example.com is your domain name.
- Enter your full email address and password to log in.
- Choose your preferred webmail application: Horde, Roundcube, or SquirrelMail.
- Alternatively, you can configure your email on your phone or computer using an email client such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Gmail, etc.
- You will need to enter your incoming and outgoing server information, which you can find in your cPanel under Email Configuration.
- You will also need to choose between POP or IMAP protocols, depending on how you want to sync your emails across devices.

ii. To create email accounts in HostGator cPanel, you need to follow these steps:

- Log in to your HostGator cPanel and look for the Email section.
- Click on the Email Accounts icon.
- Click on the + Create button on the right-hand side.
- Enter the desired email address, password, and quota for the new account.
- Select the domain name you want to use for the email account from the dropdown menu.
- Click on the Create button to finalize the account creation.

iii. To configure your desired email clients, you need to know the server settings and the protocols for your email account. You can find these information in your cPanel under Email Configuration. You can also use the web search results I found for you to get step-by-step guides for different email clients.

The most common email clients are Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, and Gmail. These email clients support OAuth, which is a more secure way to access your email account without entering your password. You can also use other email clients that support POP or IMAP protocols, but you may need to enable less secure apps in your Google account settings.

Here are some general steps to configure your email clients:

- Open your email client and choose the option to add a new account.
- Enter your full email address and password, or select the Google option if available.
- Choose the protocol you want to use: POP or IMAP. POP downloads your emails to your device, while IMAP syncs your emails across devices.
- Enter the incoming and outgoing server information, such as the server name, port number, and encryption type. You can find these information in your cPanel or from your email provider.
- Save your settings and test your connection.

If you need more help, you can contact your email provider or the support team of your email client.
