With Windows Hosting plans, you can use up to 2 GB of email disk space. With our Web Hosting plans, you can set a mailbox quota according to the free disk space.
 
While you create email accounts in cPanel, you are asked to set the mailbox quota for each email account. Sometimes, you may want to increase the mailbox quota to accommodate more emails or decrease it if the specific mailbox receives little or no emails. 

In cPanel, every email account is assigned a specific mailbox quota (storage limit). When the mailbox reaches this limit, users may face issues such as being unable to receive new emails. To resolve this, you can increase the mailbox quota directly from the cPanel Email Accounts interface.

The following steps will assist you in setting the mailbox quota in cPanel.

Step 1: Log in to your cPanel account.
 
 
Step 2: Under the Mail section, click on the Email Accounts link. This will open the Email Accounts page.
 

Step 3: In the Email Accounts page, you’ll see a list of existing accounts. Find the email account for which you want to increase the quota. Click on the Manage button next to the desired account.

Step 4: On the Manage Email Account page, look for the Allocated Storage Space or Mailbox Quota option.

Enter the new quota limit in MB (e.g., 2048 MB for 2 GB). Click the Update Email Settings button to save changes.

Step 5: After saving, return to the Email Accounts list. The updated mailbox quota should now be reflected next to the email account.

By following these steps, you can successfully increase the mailbox quota in cPanel. This ensures that your email account has sufficient storage to continue sending and receiving messages without interruptions.
