"Mailbox Full" msg -- solutions for this?
Mark Hilbrink
I keep getting the "Mailbox Full" message. Questions:
1) Can I increase the file size allowed, before seeing this msg again?
2) Am I getting this msg for just the email account (I have 2 in Outlook) in
which it shows up, or for all of them?
3) Where is the place I can choose to "leave the messages on the server" in
Outlook? I found the place in Outlook Express, but not in Outlook.
4) I found where I can "compact" messages, and am applying that. Will this
help reduce the overall size, and 'put off' getting the error msg?
5) Is this condition causing my Calendar to stop displaying notifications,
lor is this a separate problem? For some reason, I'm not getting my
notifications anymore...

mail on the servers. Change this setting in your account properties, advanced
tab and download all the mail from your ISP's servers to allow your new mail
in. You should set "leave mail on servers" to delete after xx days. Or just
don't leave on servers.

under Cached Exchange Mode Settings: "Use Cached Exchange Mode" (checked).
"Download Public Folder Favorites" is not checked. Is this what you mean I
need to check?
Under "Mailbox Mode" section, there is a button called "Offline Folder File
Settings", which I click it, only offers compaction (is that a word?), which
I have already done. I still can't see where I can leave stuff on thye server
- or not. (I think our company email Outlook settings are very weird and
specific: set up somewhat manually, I believe.)
I also wonder if that is what affects my personal email account (POP for
Cox): I'm unable to send Cox email from home on this laptop, even though I
can do it just fine, when using it at work.

You have an Exchange mailbox and your Exchange admin has imposed a quota.
You have exceeded that quota.
> Questions:

Ask the Exchange admin.

For the Exchange account labeled "Mailbox - yourname"

Exchange accounts don't have that option.

Outlook Express cannot access Exchange accounts, only POP and IMAP.

Not likely.

Separate, I believe.

Certainly there is, but you didn't ask for that.
Create a PST in Outlook with File>New>Outlook Data File. Create in that PST
a mail folder. You can call it Inbox if you wish or you can give it some
other name. Open your Exchange Inbox and select all the messages in it.
Click Edit>Move to Folder and specify the folder in the PST as the
destination. All your messages will be moved from Exchange to the PST. You
can even set up a rule to deliver incoming mail to the PST but leave all
other incoming items, like meeting requests, task assignments, etc. on the
Exchange server where it belongs.

That would not fit the conditions of the request.

I have set up a local PST for my Inbox. But how do I get Sent Items to go
to my new version of that, as well? I tried creating a rule for that, but
that only seems to handle incoming messages, not outgoing. For some reason,
"Deleted Items' got magically added under my new PST, but even after adding
my own Sent Items there, my outgoing messages still go to the OLD Sent Items
(and unfortunately still clog up the server).
Also [far less important], I couldn't see how to differentiate between
general emails to me vs. appts and such (you had recommended I leave the
latter on the server...).

Sent items will alway go to the Sent Items folder of the delivery location,
I believe, but I haven't experimented with Outlook 2007's per-account Inbox
feature. If you set the delivery location to be the PST, then ALL the data
in your Exchange mailbox will get sucked into your PST, but you DON'T WANT
THAT.

What's wrong with Rules and Alerts>New Rule>Start from a blank rule>Check
messages after sending?

All PSTs have, at a minimum, a Deleted Items folder. When you delete
something, it always goes to the Deleted Items folder in that particular
data store, be it a PST or an Exchange mailbox.

Oh my GAWD I hope you can help me. I have surfed and searched and attempted
to call my provider support (windstream.net) and they are down for the
evening (of course), and I am SO TIRED now. Here is the problem. Bounced
email notification due to exceeded quota! Like yourself, I have only around
30 in the inbox, and I have gone in and deleted the sent and deleted files,
so I KNOW there cannot be too many. This is Outlook Express 6.0, as I just
recently obtained highspeed finally after years of suffering with dial-up and
AOL. I have returned to school and have some on line classes and can't even
get my emails. I did have to disable my McAfee Firewall, because when
enabled, this bouncing thing happened with less then 10 emails in my inbox,
but even now with it disabled, still bouncing em. What can I do? Please help!

Use your browser to log into your mailbox on your ISP's server. See if you
have a lot of mail seitting on the server that you've downloaded already.
If so, DELETE it.
And stop hijacking other people's threads. Start your own. On top of that,
this newsgroup is for Office Outlook. Ask Outlook Express questions in
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general.
