Tips for keeping your mailbox under quota

• You may need to delete mail from other folders, not just your inbox.
• Using Webmail to manage your mails is a great option as you are dealing with the mail server directly. Deleting mail from third party email programs may not delete it from the mail server.
• Forwarding emails with images or documents attached can lead to your Sent folder growing in size. Check the size of your email folders on a regular basis.
• Unsubscribe from any regular unwanted emails such as newsletters or sales offers.
• Back up any important emails to your computer or another storage device, rather than using the mail server for long-term storage.
• If you make use of email forwarding, turn off Local Delivery to ensure that emails are forwarded without leaving a copy of them on the mail server. Learn more.
