What SAPO Mail is
SAPO Mail is a Portuguese email service using the @sapo.pt domain and available worldwide through web, Android, and iOS. Its free Base plan provides 8 GB of storage, 250 outgoing messages per day, up to 1,000 contacts, and 50 filters. Email aliases are available, and the service offers advanced spam filters and personal block lists. Large attachments can be sent through SAPO Transfer from inside Mail. Premium accounts include 65 GB of storage, a 10,000-message daily sending limit, and connections through IMAP, POP, and SMTP. Premium also supports up to 500 anonymous addresses and lets Multiconta add up to four accounts. Parents can use free SAPO Mail Kids to restrict messages to approved addresses; that account becomes regular at age 13. Base accounts inactive for more than 90 days may be hibernated, stop receiving messages, and have their contents removed. SAPO Mail is provided by MEO, with Portuguese-language phone support at 16200 available 24 hours a day.
