Optional Settings – This may be expanded to show and set the email account’s storage space (quota) and set up ‘Automatically Create Folders for Plus Addressing’.
Storage Space
- Set a mailbox quota – This will give the mailbox quota limit. For example if you don’t want a specific user to keep email stored on the server due to other users needing a bigger space, you could choose to limit the account.
- Unlimited – The mailbox can use the maximum disk quota limit set on the cPanel account.
Generally, choosing Unlimited would be sufficient. The main cPanel contact will get an 80% and 90% disk usage alert. Please note that individual users WILL NOT get an alert via email.
