Sometimes you may not be able to send or receive emails, this can be because you’ve reached your storage limit. Until you remove some older emails to free up storage, you won't be able to send or receive any new emails.
When you are using 80% and 90% of your storage limit you will receive a warning. You should consider deleting some email messages at this time and make sure to empty your Trash folder.
Once you’ve reached your storage limit:
- You will receive a notice that you’ve used all of your storage.
- You'll not be able to receive or send messages.
- People who send you emails will receive an automatic reply with the error Quota exceeded mailbox for user is full
You should check your storage quota by signing in to your account via your web browser at https://apps.talktalk.co.uk .
- Select the burger menu (the three stacked lines) top left
- Select Portal from the drop down menu
