How do I stop getting 'mailbox full' message, not full!

[Ailsajen]

I keep having e-mails bounced back and a message saying 'Mailbox full'. I
have deleted now about 1000 e-mails but still keep getting the message and my
emails are still being kept back. Any ideas!

Outlook doesn't give you these messages but your mail server. If you are
using a POP3 account, the mailbox that is being referred to is your on-line
mailbox provided by your ISP. Login to the web based mail client and empty
that mailbox.

What's the exact message you're getting?
Are you getting it mailing anyone, or just a specific user?
What type of mail server, pop or imap?
If it's pop, are you configured to leave a copy of your mail on the server?

It's not your mailbox on your computer that's full. It's the provider's
server that's full of mail that you left on the server. Use your web access
to your provider and your browser and clean up the mail. You need to change
your settings in Outlook and either uncheck "Leave on server" or select
"delete from server after xx days."

If you are *getting* those messages then you can do nothing about the
problem. The problem is at the recipient's end. THEIR mailbox is full.
Only they can cleanup their own mailbox.
