Icloud mail limits
iCloud Mail has some limits to ensure that your email experience is smooth and secure. Here are some of the key limits:
Storage Space:
- iCloud Mail offers 5 GB of free storage space for your email account.
- If you need more storage space, you can upgrade to a paid iCloud storage plan, which starts at $0.99 per month for 50 GB of storage.
Email Size Limits:
- The maximum size of an email message is 20 MB.
- If you try to send an email that exceeds this limit, you'll receive an error message.

- The maximum size of an attachment is 10 MB.
- If you try to attach a file that exceeds this limit, you'll receive an error message.
Number of Recipients:
- There is no limit to the number of recipients you can send an email to.
- However, if you're sending an email to a large number of recipients, you may receive a warning message or your email may be delayed.
Spam and Virus Protection:
- iCloud Mail has built-in spam and virus protection to help keep your inbox safe.
- If an email is flagged as spam or contains a virus, it will be quarantined and you'll receive a notification.
