General information about your package
- The maximum amount of email boxes you can create can be found in your control panel (see step 2). You can found more information about increasing the limit in the article ‘Can I order additional e-mail addresses?’.
- Each email box has a storage capacity of 2 GB or 250 MB, depending on the type of package. You can order extra capacity if you need more. You can find the steps to do so in the article ‘I want to increase the size of my mailbox’.
- You can forward emails with an email box, email forward, or an email group. Het amount of email forwards and email groups you can create is separate from the amount of email boxes you can create. You can find more information about this in the article ‘Forward email addresses on your Web Hosting’.
