The big clue in your question is this: the email program on your computer does not “ bounce” email - your email provider does. Presumably, if I exceed that limit - if I accumulate more than 17 gigabytes of email - Gmail will start rejecting email sent to me.
That means I have a space quota of 17 gigabytes. That could be Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, or the email provided by your company, your ISP, or whomever else you’re using.įor example, in Gmail, I have this message at the bottom of the page: It’s your email service provider that imposes a quota on how much of their disk space you’re allowed to use. The catch is, it’s not on your machine it’s on your email service provider’s server. QuotaĪ quota is nothing more than a limit on how much disk space your email can take up. POP3 configurations generally do this automatically, but IMAP, which is becoming more common, may not. You can ask for more, but a more common solution is to download email to your PC and remove it from your provider, to free up space. For email, it’s not your computer, but the space used by your account with your email service provider. A quota is a limit placed on disk space usage.
