Got a mailbox quota warning email?
Quota warnings happen when too many messages have built up inside your mailbox on the server. This guide walks you through clearing them out from webmail so your account drops back below the limit.
Each IT Design hosting plan shares space between your website and your email — so a stuffed inbox can eventually affect your site too. A short clean-up every few months keeps everything running smoothly.
