Email storage that’s as smart as you

mail.com offers you up to 65 GB of email storage, or space for about half a million emails. That’s a lot of emails! It may not be enough to save every message you’ve ever received, but who would want to? With mail.com’s customizable settings, filters and organizational tools, you can keep the emails you want for as long as you want – and automatically delete anything that gets in your way.

Use folder settings to make the most of your online storage space

You can set storage time limits for all of the folders in your email inbox. This means you can choose to store messages for an unlimited amount of time or to have old or unwanted mail automatically deleted. With the exception of your Spam and Trash folders, the default storage time for emails in your folders is “unlimited.” You can change this setting for each folder individually – after the amount of time you set has passed, messages will automatically be moved to your Trash folder, and later permanently deleted in accordance with your Trash settings.

How to free up email storage space

With 65 GB of storage for your emails, it’s hard to imagine exceeding your space limit. But whether you’d like to be organized from day one or want to tidy up your mailbox after several years, there are many ways to manage your email and gain space. Of course you can simply delete messages you no longer need and then empty your Trash folder, but mail.com also offers filters and tools that let you clear out old and unwanted emails automatically.

The “Empty folder” feature is a great way to get rid of a lot of old messages all at once. If a folder has been accumulating junk mail for some time, simply click the wrench icon next to the folder name in your inbox, then click > Empty folder to delete all those unwanted messages.

Additional mail.com settings you can use to customize your email storage:

Set specific emails to be deleted automatically after a set period of time
Delete emails in the Trash folder automatically after a set period of time
Use filter rules to move emails from specific senders directly to your Spam or Trash folders
Set filters to permanently erase emails from specific senders upon receipt

FAQs: Email storage

What is email storage space?

Simply put, email storage space is the amount of data you are allotted on the mail.com server for the emails in your mailbox. This includes the message itself as well as any attachments it contains – photos, documents, etc. Your mail.com account comes with a generous storage limit of 65 gigabytes. The emails in your mail.com mailbox are stored on our secure servers rather than your computer hard drive unless you actively save a message there.

What is the mail.com email storage space limit?

Your free mail.com account comes with 65 GB of email storage, or space for about half a million emails. It also includes 2 GB of free cloud storage in addition to your email storage, with the option to upgrade.

How do I check how much email storage space I have left?

Checking email storage space is easy and you can do it at any time. To check how much storage space you have:

Go to mail.com and log in to your email account
From the E-mail menu, select > Settings > Folder Overview
Under “Total” you see much email storage space you have used as well as the number of emails you currently have stored.

Does mail.com automatically delete emails after a certain time?

By default, emails in your Spam filter are automatically deleted after 30 days, while messages in your Trash folder are automatically deleted after 90 days. If you would like to change the time limits for these or any other folders, just click on the wrench icon next to the folder name to select the storage time you prefer. For your inbox and any folders you create, the default storage time is “unlimited.” This means that unless you change the folder settings, messages in these folders will not be automatically deleted after a certain time.
