Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa/issues/2704

curl -X POST "https://demo.modoboa.org/api/v2/accounts/" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Token 0487bce8b9d1add498fbfbc2127f05703a944bfa" -d "{"username":"y001@demo.local","role":"SimpleUsers"}"

got error: {"mailbox":["Mailboxes: limit reached"]}
Then tried webmail, also enconter this issue.

Searched this project/issues, tried to chang admin@demo.local resources, but it seems not functional.

⚫2022-12-05 15:59 update:
Microsoft Edge can change resources.
Chore can't.

But still can't add account via API after change resources after using Edge.

Hello,

thank your for your report.

I can confirm that curl -X POST "https://demo.modoboa.org/api/v2/accounts/" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Token 0487bce8b9d1add498fbfbc2127f05703a944bfa" -d '{"username":"y001@demo.local","role":"SimpleUsers"}'

is returning {"mailbox":["Mailboxes: limit reached"]}

Please be patient until a maintainer of the host is looking into this issue.

Regards

Seems to be working by now. At least by short test just now worked without issues.

It's very clear but you need to increase allocated resources for your domain and/or account (ie. maximum allowed number of mailboxes that can be created.
