What happens to new Emails when my mailbox is full?

When your mailbox is full, you won’t receive new emails. Ecenica will hold your emails for up to 4 days while you clear space.

How long do you have

You have 4 days to clear space by deleting emails or increasing your mailbox quota. After 4 days, we will reject the emails back to the sender.

What to do

  1. Delete old emails or clear attachments to make space.
  2. Check your email to see if the held emails arrive.

What happens to the sender

While your mailbox is full, the sender will get a warning message every 8 hours. After 4 days, the sender gets a message saying the email was not delivered.
