Mailbox size and limits at miHosting

It’s very common to wonder how much space you can use for your email before seeing a “mailbox full” warning. Don’t worry — at miHosting the limit is clear and depends directly on the plan you’ve chosen for your project. 🚀

Available space according to your plan 📏 To have it on hand whenever you need it, here’s the breakdown of the maximum space per account for each plan: Free Plan: 500 MB Emprendedor Plan: 1 GB Plus Plan: 3 GB Webmaster Plan: 5 GB Reseller Plan: 1 GB If your needs grow and those 5 GB aren’t enough, no problem! You can purchase a dedicated email plan and link it to your current hosting to get much larger mailboxes. How to adjust the size of your accounts Even though your plan allows up to 5 GB, you can choose to allocate less space to certain accounts to better organize your hosting. Here’s how: In DirectAdmin 💻 Log in to your panel and go to “Email Manager”. Click on “E-mail Accounts”. Click the pencil icon next to the email account you want to review. In “Email Quota (MB)”, enter the limit you want (always respecting the maximum of your plan). Click “Save”. ✨ In cPanel 📉 Look for the “Email” section and go to “Email Accounts”. Click “Manage” next to the account. Under “Storage”, adjust the size manually. Scroll down and click “Update Email Settings”. The miHosting Pro-Tip: 💡 If you receive a lot of large files, we recommend using the IMAP protocol for day-to-day use, but do periodic cleanups of your “Sent” and “Trash” folders. Those emails with old attachments are usually the ones that quietly eat up your gigabyte of space. So you don’t miss anything: Your plan is in charge: The maximum limit for each mailbox is determined by the type of hosting you’ve purchased. 📦 Need more than 5 GB? If your business requires it, there are independent professional email plans with higher capacities. Total control: You can raise or lower the quota of each account whenever you want from your control panel. ⚙️
