Mailbox is Over Quota

When the storage area of your mailbox on the server is close to full, you will receive an email message of the situation.

Here's how to work around that problem. Uncheck 'Leave Messages on Server'. The reasoning is that leaving a copy of messages on the server can cause a mail box to exceed the quota. If you use an email program, please be sure you have this option unchecked.
