Accepted Answer

Visit the Pricing page from your dashboard to compare plans and select your desired tier. Changes take effect immediately with prorated billing.

Question 6

What happens when I cancel my plan?

Accepted Answer

When you cancel a paid plan, you'll receive a prorated refund for the unused portion of your billing period. Your account will immediately downgrade to the Free plan, and your resources (mailboxes, API quotas) will be adjusted to match the Free plan limits.

Question 7

What is an archived mailbox?

Accepted Answer

An archived mailbox is a deactivated mailbox that preserves the email address for future reactivation. When a mailbox is archived, all messages are deleted, but the mailbox address is retained. This is useful for password recovery or reusing specific mailboxes in QA pipelines. Each plan has a limit on how many archived mailboxes can be retained.
