A mailbox is full

Raise the quota or clean up old messages.

When a mailbox is full, new messages bounce back to the sender.

  • Raise its quota: in cPanel Email Accounts, click Manage next to the mailbox and increase the storage (within your plan's disk space).
  • Clean up: in webmail, delete old messages, empty Trash and Spam, and sort by size to find large attachments.
  • Using POP3? Switch to IMAP, or set the app to remove messages from the server after downloading.
