It is very common to wonder how much space we can use for our emails before seeing the “mailbox full” notice. Don’t worry, at miHosting the limit is clear and depends directly on the plan you have chosen for your project. 🚀

Available space according to your plan 📏So that you always have it at hand, here is the breakdown of the maximum space per account according to each modality: Free Plan: 500 MBEntrepreneur Plan: 1 GBPlus Plan: 3 GBWebmaster Plan: 5 GBReseller Plan: 1 GBIf your needs grow and those 5 GB fall short, no problem! You can contract a specific email plan and link it to your current hosting to have much larger mailboxes.How to adjust the size of your accountsAlthough your plan allows you up to 5 GB, you can decide to allocate less space to certain accounts to better organize your hosting. This is how it is done:In DirectAdmin 💻Enter your panel and go to “Email Manager”.Click on “E-mail Accounts”.Press the pencil icon next to the email you want to review.In “Email Quota (MB)”, write the limit you want (always respecting the maximum of your plan).Click “Save”. ✨In cPanel 📉Look for the “Email” section and enter “Email Accounts”.Click on “Manage” next to the account.In the “Storage” section, adjust the size manually.Go down and click on “Update Email Settings”.The Pro-Tip of miHosting: 💡If you receive many large files, I recommend using the protocol IMAP for everyday use, but periodically clean the “Sent” and “Trash” folders. Those emails with old attachments are usually the ones that use up your gigabyte of space without you realizing it. So that you don’t miss anything: Your plan rules: The maximum limit of each mailbox is determined by the type of hosting you have contracted. 📦Do you need more than 5 GB? If your business requires it, there are independent professional email plans with higher capacities.Full control: You can raise or lower the quota of each account whenever you want from your control panel. ⚙️
