How to Edit Storage Space of a Mailbox

Last updated on Apr 30, 2025

Each mailbox has a storage quota, which limits how much email it can store. If a mailbox is approaching its limit, you can easily increase or adjust the quota โ€” or set it to unlimited if required.

This guide shows you how to update the storage space for a mailbox in your Email Control Panel.


๐Ÿ” Step 1: Access the Email Control Panel
