550 Mailbox quota exceeded

Is this something you’re in danger of sending to prospective clients and others who email you?

This is a message I periodically get faced with when emailing people and it makes me wonder how they run their business online if people cannot contact them because their mailbox is full.

If you have had this challenge then it’s time to look at increasing your mailbox or changing the mail service you use for something else.

Or, look at how you’re set up.  Do you have your mail stay on the server even when you download it? If so, that mailspace is going to fill up sometime and you need to empty it regularly.  Or do you only check your email now and then and not daily?

I prefer to keep my email program open all the time and do not have the mail saved on the server.  If you feel you do need to do that to save email that might get lost then consider using gmail or a similar service that retrieves from your server and will deliver to your inbox, but keep it online in their system also.

Whatever way you operate, there will be some kind of service suitable for your needs and there shouldn’t be a reason for people receiving this failed message because of a full mailbox.
