To free up email storage in cPanel, you can use the Email Disk Usage tool to delete old or large emails. This tool allows you to select specific folders and criteria for deletion, such as age or size. You can also use webmail clients or email clients with IMAP to manage and delete emails, and remember to empty the trash folder.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Log in to cPanel: Access your cPanel account.
- Navigate to Email Accounts: Locate and click on the "Email Accounts" icon.
- Access Email Disk Usage: Find and click on the "Email Disk Usage" icon or link.
- Select Email Account: Choose the email account for which you want to manage storage.
- Choose Folder: Select the specific folder (Inbox, Sent, etc.) you want to manage.
- Choose Deletion Criteria: Select one of the provided options to delete emails, or use the "Custom" option for more specific criteria.
- Delete Permanently: Confirm the deletion to permanently remove the selected emails.
Additional Tips:
-
Archive Old Emails:Instead of deleting, consider archiving important emails to a different location.
-
Regular Monitoring:Regularly check your email storage usage to prevent reaching storage limits.
-
Webmail Clients:Use webmail clients like Roundcube or Horde to manage emails directly.
-
Email Clients (IMAP):Configure your email client (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) with IMAP to manage emails and set up rules for automatic deletion or archiving.
-
Empty Trash:Remember to empty the trash folder after deleting emails to free up storage.
