Mailbox storage and total hosting storage are related but separate limits. Increasing one mailbox’s allowance does not expand the hosting account.
What to do
- Check the mailbox’s quota in Email Accounts and the overall account usage in Disk Usage.
- Archive messages you need to retain to a trusted location. Check large attachments, Sent, Trash and spam folders.
- Delete only messages you no longer need; removing messages through IMAP may remove them from every synchronized device.
- Ask JIJ about available quota or plan changes if the account remains close to its limit.
Good to know
Do not empty an entire mailbox as a first troubleshooting step. Confirm retention requirements and keep an appropriate archive.
