cPanel - Change an Email Account's Quota

This demo will show you how to Change an Email Account's Quota from cPanel. An email quota is the maximum amount of disk space allocated to an email account.

What happens when my mailbox is over quota?

You will receive an email, warning you that your mailbox is getting close to quota. If your mailbox exceeds the quota, there is no room for additional mail and all new messages will bounce back to the sender.

*Note: The quota will not exceed your overall account disk space. For example, if your account comes with a maximum of 100MB, your email account will not exceed 100MB even if you set the quota to "unlimited."

[1] Locate the "add/remove email accounts" icon in cPanel's Email Management Tools section

[2] Locate the account you would like to modify under the "Current Accounts" section

[3] Select the "Edit Email Quota" from the functions drop down menu

[4] Enter the amount of disk space you would like this email account to allocate in the "New Quota" field

[5] Click the "Change" button
