A single Cpanel accounts has many email accounts. When an email account quota is reaching 80% or is full, the main contact of the account gets a warning. Is there any way for the email user to receive such warning? This way they manage their account without account admin intervention.

  in the users cpanel if you scroll to the bottom it says > contact information there are a few checkboxes and a spot to add an email address to get notifications. have you looked there ?

  This setting only appears if your hosting provider Any of my account"s email accounts approaches or is over quota. " Send a notification if one of your email addresses will soon reach its maximum amount of disk space. Note: To resolve this issue,

  thanks for your reply. yes I did look into these options. This will send a notification to me as the cpanel account contact. But will it notify the concerned email account?

  not understanding.. do you mean when you add an email you give each email a limit ? and you want that person to get the email of 80% full for each email address ?

  I don't think this is possible if this is what your trying to ask below example. if you create on a cpanel account with domain> 2domain.tld you create 3 emails accounts with address: bob@2domain.tld assign 2048mb space mary@2domain.tld assign 4096mb space john@2domain.tld assign 10GB space I don't think bob@2domain.tld can get a notification for his email if he reaches 80% of 2048mb I think you as the cPanel owner gets the 80% notification because you are the owner the cpanel account. and domain> 2domain.tld I could be wrong But.... I don't see this as an option in the

  Now you can setup email filters with a forwarder address for each email account.. then delete the email from server, or create both a rule to forward and then delete emails after 2 weeks on server. so example bob@2domain.tld is forwarded to bob@gmail.tld and email is deleted automatically from server so it does not take up any space at all or mary@2dpmain.tld has forwarder and keeps email on server for 2 weeks then any email older than 2 weeks gets deleted automatically. this will make sure they never go over quota and they read their email from there Gmail account or outlook account etc.. but I do not think there is a way to each individual email on the same cpanel account to get notification of overage, because its all on the same cpanel account, so you as owner will get the email.

  Hello again @8p-design after a long search and more testing we got the answer and I was wrong... YES you can send them notifications... here is the email i got on the one email account that went over the limit

  Mailbox quota notification for "testers@domain.com".

  The "testers@doman.com" email account is nearly full. The email account currently uses 93.3% (955.44 KB/1 MB) of its capacity. You should remove some emails from the mailbox as soon as possible in order to prevent the loss of any future email. Use the Email Disk Usage tool at and turn this feature ON right below that you should see 3 more settings to set the percentages when emails get mailed to users ( each email account when it goes over) and then you click save at the bottom. and your all set. this works as I've just tested it. hope this helps you :) Enable mailbox usage warnings On Off default Mailbox disk quota "warn" percentage [?] Threshold percentage to warn a user (via email) that their mailbox"s disk quota is considered to be in the "warn" state. Disable this notification 80 % default % Mailbox disk quota "critical" percentage [?] Threshold percentage to warn a user (via email) that their mailbox"s disk quota is considered to be in the "critical" state. Disable this notification 90 % default % Mailbox disk quota "full" percentage [?] Threshold percentage to warn a user (via email) that their mailbox"s disk quota is considered to be in the "full" state. Disable this notification 98 % default %
