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.

The quota you specify is 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."
