    Go back into add account, and change your quota to something larger.

    If you have the catch all turned on, you are prolly getting a ton of spam email, that you dont need to get, you can turn it off, and set the catch all to :fail:

      Don't forget, if you're using an email client (Thunderbird, Outlook, Eudora, etc.) that you have to make sure "leave mail on server" is UNCHECKED.

        That option, by default is NOT checked. It would be something they would have to enable themselves.

          Thanks!

          I am using Outlook Express as my e-mail client. However I have yet not figured out how I can check my e-mails from other computers. It seams like I only can check it from home using Outlook Express. I would like the e-mails to be on the server as well so that I can use my e-mail and check it while I am abroad traveling. Is that possible?

            There's an option in outlook express to keep a copy of messages on the server.

            It's in tools | accounts | account properties somewhere.

            Sorry to be vague, but I don't use OE any more.

              Tools
              Accounts
              Account Properties
              Advanced
              Little checkbox for it, and 2 options. Though, keeping the files on your server will take up space. Might want to up the space of your email account via cpanel, or possibly forward emails elsewhere (ie. gmail) or such.

                My quota is set to 2000 MB and I do not have any larger. It says that I have used 332 MB so far. I am clueless...
