## What it does

Add **more mailboxes** than your plan includes, or **bump the per-mailbox storage cap** so individual mailboxes can hold more mail.

## What you can upgrade

- **Mailbox count** — extra accounts beyond your plan's included number.
- **Per-mailbox size** — raise the storage cap on individual mailboxes (extra GB).
- **Shared email pool** — if your plan uses a shared storage pool across all mailboxes, you can increase the pool size.

## When you might need this

- **Hiring more staff** and you've used up your included mailboxes.
- **A mailbox is approaching its storage cap.** First consider whether [archival email](/whp/add-ons/archival-email/) is the better fit — if the issue is *old* mail you rarely need, archiving is cheaper and keeps the live mailbox responsive.
- **A domain that sends newsletters** and needs many sending aliases.

## How to enable

From the [client portal](https://secure.anhonesthost.com/clientarea.php), open your hosting service → **Upgrade/Downgrade** → pick the email option. WHP applies it immediately.
