When choosing mailboxes it\u2019s important to think how many unique email accounts or people you want to have using email. For example, if you need a sales@ email address and support@ and an admin@ email address where all the emails are separated from each other, then you will need to get 3 mailboxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing the storage, this will depend on how many emails you expect to be receiving. If you will be having a large quantity of emails coming into your mailbox or multiple attachments, then you can fill up a small mailbox quicker. If you intend to store all historic emails, then it is advisable to go for a higher capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-49.png\" alt=\"An image showing creating email mailboxes\" class=\"wp-image-5075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-49.png 940w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-49-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-49-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/www.names.co.uk\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-49-50x29.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step Five<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have gone through to purchase the correct package you will receive a confirmation email and a guide on creating your chosen mailboxes.
