MAILBOX FULL - OUTLOOK

Hi

I have an employee who is having a big issue with emails. He is using Outlookn 2010. Essentially he cannot send or receive emails. When someone sends to him they receive a message saying his mailbox is full.

We went to BT (our ISP) and both they and ourselves cleared all emails from the server. My employee also deleted 1000s of emails he had stored in his sent and deleted folders.

However, with everything now clear, the mailbox is still reporting that it is full. BT swear blind that the issue is not to do with them and that the Outlook settings are in some way responsible. However, we are at a loss as to what else to try other than abandon his email address and start with a new one.... which seems crazy and will be very disruptive.

Can anyone shed any light as to next steps?

When someone sends to him they receive a message saying his mailbox is full.

And that message is coming from the mail server. What is the mailbox size reported on the server?

Which mail account type are you using and what is the exact error message in full that is being returned? Don't paraphrase; copy/paste the entire error message that is being returned to the sender.

As for emptying the server-side mailbox; Also empty the Deleted Items and Junk folder.

Hi Roady

Ty for your help.

The mailbox size is reported as 1013MB and we are using pop3. Yes, we also always delete the Deeleted Items and Junk folders. The messages that are being sent to senders look as below:

The recipient's mailbox is full and can't accept messages now. Please try resending your message later, or contact the recipient directly.

How much space does BT say they give you? If it's a gigabyte, then clearly you are still overquota.

Emptying the Deleted Items folder and Junk E-mail folder in Outlook 2010 for a POP account may not remove anything from the server. You must log into the mailbox using a web browser and delete the data there. I think BT is not accurate if they tell you the mailbox has been cleaned.
