Mailbox Full?
8 Answers
We use microsoft office 365 outlook for our emails at work. It keeps saying my mailbox is full, so over the last couple of days I have totally deleted hundreds and hundreds of old emails. There aren't any in the deleted box even and I only have about 75 emails in my inbox. However this morning we haven't received any emails (usually we get about at least 10 or 15) and some people have rung me and said emails they have tried to send us and it comes back to them with a message still saying this email account is full.
Don't know what else to do to solve this?
Its very important because its our main email address for our business.
Any help much appreciated

Have you tried sending yourself an email from a non office365 address to see what error message is returned - then you google the error or try microsoft (spit!)

Based on the assumption that your mail servers are provided by an external email service provider, for example Microsoft which is the default Office 365 email provider, you most likely need to login to your external email account via a web browser to check if that is showing as full on the external servers and if so delete the messages stored there.
Are you sure that there's not just a single email in your Inbox that's got a whopping great attachment with it? You're allowed 50Gb of storage space, which is a hell of a lot, but one person sending you an email with your company's latest HD video promotion attached might take up all (or a great deal of) that allocation.
