The Free 30-Day Trial at mailbox

To help you get to know mailbox without any commitment, all new customers automatically receive a free 30-day trial account. During this period, all menu items, settings, and services are fully available.

For security reasons, certain restrictions apply during the trial phase to prevent misuse by spammers, fraudsters, or for illegal activity.

Why are there restrictions?

Unfortunately, trial accounts are sometimes misused — for example:

  • to register accounts with third-party services (e.g. social media platforms, payment services like PayPal),
  • to send spam,
  • or for illegal file sharing.

To protect the good reputation of mailbox with other email providers and ensure reliable delivery of your messages, responsible handling of new accounts is essential.

Restrictions during the trial phase

FunctionRestriction during trial phase
Email sendingMax. 10 emails per day to other mailbox users
Email receptionLimited or no delivery from certain social media and payment services
Email storageLimited to 100 MB
Cloud storageLimited to 10 MB

How to lift the restrictions

As soon as we receive a credit deposit to your account, all of the above restrictions will be fully removed. From that point on, sending thousands of emails per day is also possible.

Tip: You can top up your credit anytime in the customer portal under All Settings | Plan.
