 * Hi all
    I want to add an email address that is personal to my site. Something
   like [johnny@mysite.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-an-email-address/johnny@mysite.com?output_format=md).
   Can this be done by WordPress or do I need to set it up with my Hosting Account?
   I haven’t clue where to start with this so thnks in advance.
 * Johnny.

 * You can set an email from the admin panel under settings > general tab.

 * You need to set it up with your hosting provider. WordPress does not natively
   handle e-mail accounts.
