Yola Mail's features, compatibility, and settings

This tutorial is our how-to guide for using Yola Mail. You will find more detailed tutorials in the Yola Mail section.

Which browsers are best to use?

Yola Mail supports the following browsers:

  1. Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0 and higher
  2. Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and higher
  3. Chrome 1.0 and higher
  4. Safari 3.2 and higher
  5. Konqueror 3.5 and higher

Note: You may be able to view the Yola Mail interface on other unsupported browsers; however, some features may produce unexpected results.

What are email storage limits?

All email accounts provide 5 GB of server-side storage for archiving messages. You can send messages up to 25 MB in size.

The maximum size for email messages, including any attachments, is 35 MB; however, when attachments are sent over the Internet, they must be encoded, and this encoding increases the size of the message. The size increase can sometimes be more than 25 percent.

We recommend that you not try to send attachments that are larger than 25 MB. If you want to share large files, we recommend that you use the Files feature that is part of Yola Mail.

In addition, some mail servers will not accept large email messages, so if you attach a large file to your message, it may not reach its intended recipient.

Downloading emails from a POP3 account


Instructions on how to download messages from another email account into Webmail using POP3:

  • Server Address – The server address can be obtained from the provider of the email account you are trying to download.
  • Server Port – Use port 110 if you do not put a check in the SSL box. Use port 993 if you do put a check in the SSL box.
  • Use SSL – Putting a check in this box will allow Webmail to access your other email account through an encrypted connection.
  • Leave a copy of the message on the server – Put a check in this box if you want to leave a copy of the messages you download in the original email account.
  • Default Folder – Select the folder to which you want to download the messages from your other email account.
  • Test connection on save – Click to put a checkmark in this box if you want to test the connection to this account when you save the configuration.
  • Import old messages – Click to put a checkmark in this box if you want to import all existing messages from the account. If you don't select this option, only new, unread messages will be imported.

Restoring deleted email

Deleted email messages may be recovered by our customer service team if you contact us within 14 days of deleting the messages. Our engineering team saves backup images of mailboxes to allow us to recover deleted emails.

Note: We may be unable to recover your deleted messages if:

  • The email was deleted within more than 4 hours of being received. An email that has been stored on our mail server for less than 4 hours may not have been included in a backup image.
  • You download your email using a POP3 mail program. If you use a POP3 mail program and it is configured to download messages automatically and then remove copies from our server, we will be unable to save backup images of your messages. We recommend that you switch to IMAP if you want us to be able to recover the deleted email.
