Email Accounts - Change the Mailbox (Size) Quota

You can easily update an email account's quota or disk space limit. This article will explain how to make this change.

Changing the Quota of an Email Account

Note: Bluehost provides two interface choices for account management: the original 'Bluerock' control panel and the newer 'Account Manager' designed for easier use.
