I swear I'm gonna kill Bill Gates lol.

I have like 10 messages in email, yet when I try to foward stuff from my Yahoo account, its says undeliverable, mailbox full, yet I've been conversing with other clients still on Outlook email with no issues, but another client was trying to send me stuff and kept getting returned back to him saying my email was full.

What e-mail service are you using ? Are you leaving the messages on the e-mail server? Theres a setting in Outlook to delete the message off of the server once it gets downloaded to your computer by Outlook.
 
Microsoft Outlook, Pop3 account through Myersinternet I believe
 
SurferDo not know if it applies to non-networked computers but I believe Outlook has a size allocation to how much it will hold. And it counts everything, calenders, sent mail, deleted mail, to do lists, etcCannot remember exactly where the button is but from the Outlook main on the top menu, one of the left two menu selections, one of them will lead you to a ?properties? selection that will tell you how big your files are. You may need to delete some old files.In my corporate world we are held to 50M on the servers and hit that with regularity. It sounds like the same thing.Just a thoughtJohn
 
The limit is caused by the pop server. You should set Outlook to not leave messages on the server and then when you download the emails with Outlook it takes it off the pop server. The only draw back is that if you have a computer/ harddrive wipe you will lose the emails that you download because the only copy is on your computer. I suggest saving your important emails on a cd if its really important for back up.
 
Yup already fixed it, somehow that button got checked and I never checked it as it was working fine for the past couple days after I did a system restore. And yeh, temm me about it, did the restore and lost 1K emails:mad:, I'm not a tech guy with computers and didn't know a Pop3 doesn't save to a server, Miccrosoft told me I'd be fine and the emails would be there after rebooting.....

Sounds like your computer is very important. Do you have a back up computer just incase that one goes down?
 
Surfer,

As said before, check your settings in outlook or outlook express and determine if you are leaving a copy of the email on the pop3 server. You most likely are.

If that is the case, ensure that you save all the emails you want (I suggest burning them to a cd) and then calling your ISP (or email providor) and getting the emails purged.

I never have an issue because I set my client to delete the email off the server when I receieve it at home. However, the downside to that (as you expernced before I think) is if you re-install outlook, and/or don't backup your emails, you could potentially loose em.

If email is very important, I suggest looking for alternative services. Something with a LOT more space. Heck, buying your own domain name and paying for hosting is insanely cheap these days....doing that JUST for email would be worth it if you use it THAT much. If you want to go this route, I can better explain it to you if you wish.

PM me if you need more help :) I'll try my bestest!
