Title: Email full
Post by: Den on Aug 09, 2016, 16:46:12
Although I am no longer with idnet I still use their emails. The message keeps reporting to the sender that my inbox is full but I can't seem to find how to empty it, I'm sure it's me being simple and there must be a way, help.

thats a weird link Simon haha     goes to the login page


Dont know if this is the right way to do it Den and i've never had that message but have had to empty it before and did it this way...


when logged in to your webmail go to the MAIL tab and go to your Inbox

near the bottom of that pain should be a drop down box to select  All/Current page etc.. and to the right is arrows to navigate to different pages


select which pages/messages you want to delete,I start from the last page, then from the drop down select   current page    then this will  activate the delete option in the top tool bar then just delete.

You may then need to empty the deleted items folder in the same way.


there is a percentage bar along the bottom left corner showing how full your inbox is.


Hope that helps

Den, to save the mailbox getting full in future, could you use POP3 to download the emails to your desktop mail client?  Or, if you already do that, perhaps there's a box ticked somewhere in the settings to leave mail on the server?  This needs to be unticked if you don't want to leave mail in your webmail inbox once you've downloaded it.

I assumed that once pointed in the right direction, Den would have had the capacity to work things out for himself, but I'm sure your explanation helped tremendously.  ;)
