you need to be hosted to get the email account.
there are some free cpanel web hosting provider but then you cant expect much from a free service as their service level might not be up to standard.

i’ve tried what you suggested above to create a new email account in cpanel and it doesn’t work. when i log in cPanel there is no ‘mail’ option. instead it says ‘email’ with a different icon from the one you’ve shown. when i click on it there is no option to ‘manage / add / remove email account’. options are
Mail Directory Conversion System
Mail Queue Manager
Mail Troubleshooter
Repair Mailbox permissions
View Mail Statistics
View Relayers
thanks, juliana

If you’ve already got hosting on a cPanel-enabled server and you need a way to automate the creation of email accounts, you should checkout my “cPanel Email Account Manager” PHP class: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpanelemailmgr/files/

You have probably already explained it but being new to this i totally dont understand, I have got cpanel account but there is no ‘Mail’ Button only ‘MX Entry’. I have emailed cPanel a few times but with no reply! Is it that my account is not good enough to have it or what?
I had a look at scripts that people have written, firstly i dont even know exactly what there for and secondly i have no idea what to do with them! do i just put them in the root folder of my website?
Please help, the lack of response from cPanel is extremely frustrating!!!
