What are the storage limits for emails?
Microsoft Outlook, particularly through the outlook.com service, has set storage limits for email accounts that can vary depending on the type of account being used. For personal accounts on outlook.com, users generally receive a free storage limit of fifteen gigabytes for email. When this limit is reached, users will not be able to send or receive further emails until they free up space by deleting unwanted messages or archiving old emails.
For users with a Microsoft 365 subscription, the storage capacity is increased, typically providing up to fifty gigabytes of mailbox storage. Moreover, if the storage reaches its limit, additional storage may be available through the use of an archive feature, which allows users to move older emails to an archive folder, thus helping to manage space effectively.
It is always advisable to check the current web page for the latest information on storage limits and related policies, as these may be updated over time.
