My wife came to me with a question about a "Full Inbox" message she had
just received on our computer. I thought to myself that somehow the
"leave messages on server" had somehow been checked in the Preferences.
I checked the "Server Settings" and found that it was properly set.
Yes, our local inbox has many messages stored in it and it needs a good
house cleaning...which I intend to do ASAP.
Will the Local Inbox generate a "Full Inbox" message?
I don't think so, unless disk space is exhausted where inbox lives.
Everything was working just fine until I was recently moved from Verizon
to AOL...could this be the cause of my problem?
I have to think it could well be related. Many individual spams are getting
awfully big. AOL's inbox space might not be big enough to hold messages for the
specified length of time. If she's leaving messages on server for 30 days, try
cutting back to 10 or 14. Check with AOL if inbox size can be increased.
If none are being left on server yet AOL inbox is full, something must be wrong
either with SM or AOL.
I have two POP mail accounts, one set to leave on server 11 days, the other 25.
The one set to 11 is using about 25MB. The one set to 25 is only using about
5MB, but I just reduced it from around 37MB by deleting all emails 3 digits
large, which were running e.g. 159, 164, 241 & 316 KB.
How often does she compact folders? I do it daily. If she never does, maybe
doing it is overdue, especially if triple digit spams have been routinely
reaching it.
Thanks Felix for your reply. I do check my mail several times a day so
I don't think the build-up is located at AOL. As I stated earlier, my
preferences are set to remove my messages from my ISP when they are
downloaded to my computer. I have resolved that my problem must have to
do with the volume of messages stored in my Inbox...thus, I am now in
the throws of doing a thorough house cleaning of my Inbox. I hope this
going to solve my problem.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this subject...I have been
involved with Christmas shopping (wife is handicapped)...church
activities...and undergoing a complete physical...among other seasonal
activities.
