| 2)Examine the Folder List at the top-left of the screen. Your 'Local Folders', as their name would suggest, are stored locally on your PC. (Messages in your local folders do NOT count towards your mail quota) |
| 3)The folders at the bottom-left contain all your server-based mail. Messages in these folders contribute to your mail quota. As you have a fixed amount of space on the server it is important to monitor the amount of mail in these directories to ensure your account does not go.'Over Quota'. A go.d rule of thumb is to move any messages that are more than a month old to your local folders group. For assistance transferring mail please read below |
