How to delete a hosted email address

If you no longer require a hosted email address from Porkbun, or you want to switch a hosted email inbox to a free email forwarding address, you'll want to delete your hosted email address. Here's how:

Log in. You should arrive at the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top-right corner and select Domain Management.

Locate the domain with the email address that you're deleting. To the right of the domain name is a row of icons. Click on the envelope icon under the "EMAIL" column.

You'll be taken to the Email Hosting and Forwarding page. Scroll down until you see the "Current Accounts" section on the left, which should contain the email address you're deleting.

⚠️️ Warning

Deleting your email address will erase any email that's still in the inbox. You may want to click the "webmail" button under your email address first to log into Webmail and make sure you've saved any important emails before deleting the inbox.

Click on the "delete" button with the trash can icon under the email address you're deleting. On the pop-up confirmation window that appears, click "OK" to confirm the deletion.

That's it! Now your hosted email inbox is deleted and you shouldn't incur any more charges related to the deleted inbox.

If you have time left over that you've already paid for, you'll see an email address show up under the "Pending Setup" section on the same page. You can set up a new email with the time you've already paid for, or you can let that time expire and you won't be charged for renewal.
