Hi,

It sounds like you're dealing with a full mailbox, which can be quite frustrating. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:

1. You can open Outlook go to- File- Info- Mailbox Settings. This will show you how much space you're using, confirm the size of your mailbox.
2. Try to delete old or unnecessary emails, especially those with large attachments. You can sort your emails by size to quickly find the largest ones.
3. Move older emails to an archive. This can free up space in your primary mailbox. In Outlook, you can set up auto-archiving to do this automatically.
4. Save email attachments to your local drive or a cloud storage service and then delete the emails containing those attachments.
