How to reduce mailbox slots

Learn what mailbox slots are and how to reduce them on your own from your Mailforge, Infraforge, or Primeforge account.

You can now reduce your mailbox slots yourself, without contacting support. This article explains what mailbox slots are, what to do before reducing them, and the steps for Mailforge, Infraforge, and Primeforge.

What are mailbox slots?

Mailbox slots are purchased units that cover your mailboxes. They let you delete a mailbox and create a new one without changing your subscription.

Visible: Domains, Connect domains, Create domains, Your data summary, If you wish to buy a domain, mailbox slot, or simply create a mailbox, click on the plus button be

Why delete mailboxes before reducing slots?

Reducing slots takes effect instantly and is removed from your billing right away. So you need to delete the mailboxes you no longer want first. Once they are deleted, their slots become vacant and you can remove those slots from your billing.

If you reduce slots without deleting mailboxes first, our system will automatically remove the same number of mailboxes at your next renewal. These are picked randomly from your available mailboxes, which means an important mailbox could be removed.

Before you start

  • Delete the mailboxes you don’t want to keep.

  • Mailbox slots can only be reduced in quantities of 5.

  • The price shown at the top of the pop-up is your new subscription price. It will be charged from your next renewal onwards.
