What Naver Mail is
Naver Mail is a free service for sending, receiving, and managing email, available on the web and through Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS apps. Its basic mailbox capacity is 5 GB; transferring capacity from NAVER MYBOX can raise the total to 30 GB, with no separate paid mailbox-capacity feature listed. Smart Mailbox separates promotion, billing and payment, social network, and NAVER Café messages. Large attachments can be up to 2 GB per file, with up to 10 files per message. Sending is limited to 10 times per day, while downloads remain available for 30 days and have a 100-download limit. The mobile app can manage external accounts such as Gmail and Outlook, group messages by conversation or sender, and filter unread, important, attachment, and VIP mail. It also supports formatted text and inline images when composing. For external mail programs, Naver Mail supports POP3 and SMTP; setup for POP3, IMAP, or SMTP requires NAVER two-step verification and an application password. Naver Mail does not support email aliases.
