Mail storage space and Quotas

Last change on 2026-03-12 • Created on 2026-03-12 • ID: MA-D2985

Emails count toward your account’s total available storage space.

You can view your current usage in konsoleH by clicking on the hosting name → StatisticsStorage Space.

All email accounts reside in the users directory within your home directory. The system displays the storage usage for each email account there.

Reducing Storage Usage

Use Forwarding Instead of Mailboxes

If you only need to forward emails to another address, you can set up a forwarding.

In this case, you do not need a separate mailbox.

Retrieving via POP3

When you retrieve via POP3, your client transfers emails to your local computer and then deletes them from the server.
This frees up storage space on the server.

Use maintenance

Use the Account Maintenance feature in konsoleH to automatically delete emails in the spam folder and trash.

Set mailbox limits

Set storage limits for mailboxes.
Once the limit is reached, the server will no longer accept further emails.
