You may receive trouble if you receive so much email that your quota of space on the mailserver goes beyond the limits. There are a few things you can do to stop this from happening, and if it is too late, you can recover some space and your email will begin functioning properly thereafter.

First off, you can set your email client to delete the messages from your trashcan when you close the application.

If you are running Mozilla Thunderbird:
1) Go to the Tools -> Account Settings from the menu.

2) Make sure your account is expanded in the left pane and Select “Server Settings” underneath your account.

3) Make sure you have checked “Empty Trash on Exit”. Now when you close your email client, it will automatically delete your trashed items and they will no longer be taking up space on the server.

Maybe your account is locked because you are already over quota? You can use the webmail interface to get into your email and delete large old messages.

1) go to <a href=”http://morronimail.com”>morronimail.com</a> and log in using your email user id and password.

2) click on the “size” label on the far right column of your email listings. this will sort your email by size. If if is not sorted largest to smallest, click on it again to attain this sort order.

3) you can click the checkbox on the left of your older and larger emails, especially those with attachments (PDF, Images, etc) that you no longer need. Click the delete option at the the top and it will place a strike-through font to all the emails you selected. Now click the purge emails option, and they will be permanently deleted, thus freeing space up on your account.
