All PagePlay sites come with the option to add 20 email accounts. We provide a high quality, well-supported service for these accounts which allows you to connect by POP or IMAP or indeed to access by webmail.

All email accounts need to be limited. It's simply not possible or responsible to offer unlimited amounts of storage on email accounts. Of course, different service providers offer different limits based on their server infrastructure, usage patters, commitments to customers and the degree to which they use your emails to sell advertising.

At PagePlay, we investigated this carefully and decided that the most suitable maximum was 250MB per account.

Of course not, it just means this is the most you can have on the server at any one time. Your email setup should include an application such as Outlook, Mail for Mac or Thunderbird into which you can archive older mail that you want to keep.

We have some guidance on how to archive your old emails here:

You can then back up this older mail locally using your own preferred backup method.

You would need to either delete or archive and backup your old email whatever the limit on your account.

It is incredibly rare that someone actually needs this much online storage for their email account, provided the account is being managed properly. If you are in this very rare group of people, then you probably need your own email server.

If you set up your own email server, we can re-route your email traffic so that it goes directly to your server. Just let us know.
