Email account size at miHosting

Introduction

The size of an email account tells you how much space that mailbox can use inside your hosting service. That space is used by received mail, sent mail, attachments, trash, spam, and folders created by the user.

This guide shows the mailbox size by plan and what options you have if you need more capacity.

Account size by plan

Plan	Email account size
Gratis	500 MB
Emprendedor	1 GB
Plus	3 GB
Webmaster	5 GB
Reseller	1 GB

What uses space in an account

Mailbox space is not only used by received messages. It is also consumed by:

• sent emails
• large attachments
• trash
• spam
• drafts
• IMAP folders
• duplicated messages caused by older setups

If you use IMAP, messages remain on the server, so usage can grow over time.

How to review and reduce the used space

1. Delete old emails you no longer need.
2. Remove messages with heavy attachments.
3. Empty the trash.
4. Clean the spam folder.
5. Save truly important messages outside the mailbox.
6. Check whether any device is duplicating messages.

Can I have accounts larger than 5 GB

If you need bigger mailboxes, you can consider a dedicated email service linked to your domain.

This is usually useful if:

• you receive many attachments
• you need to keep long mail history
• several users work with large accounts
• the mailbox fills up often

Common problems

My mailbox is full

The account reached its assigned limit. Delete messages, attachments, trash, and spam to free space.

I deleted emails, but usage did not go down

They may still be in trash or other IMAP folders.

I need to keep all my email

You can download local copies, make backups, or review a larger email option.

Conclusion

Mailbox size depends on the plan you have. If the account fills up regularly, clean old email, review attachments, and consider a mail solution with more capacity.
