How do I increase the storage size for a email sub account?
Good question, i was wondering why my main account gets 2048MB and my sub accounts only 250. We should be able to reallocate email storage like we can web storage.
Verizon sub accounts only get 250 MB of email storage. There is no way to change that limit.
If you need more space, you might consider downloading your mail to a client (Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Mac Mail, etc.) instead of keeping it on Verizon's servers. That way you are only limited by the amount of space on your pc. The downside of this is that your email is only stored on the one computer.
I believe portalling with Yahoo bumps the limit up for subs, but there are limitations there as well. It seems Yahoo isn't available for customers in areas that are moving to Frontier.
An alternate "solution" is to get a free address somewhere else. (Gmail, for example, offers over 7 gigs of space.) You can either use the free address as your email address, or simply forward all of your verizon.net mail to it and set up your @verizon.net address as a reply address within that account. With some domains, you can even set up your verizon.net account as a pop3 account, and use them in a fashion similar to OE, but have your content available on the web.
Hopefully this information is helpful to you.
