I know my mailbox is not full, it's a brand new computer and i mayb
have 10 messages. People sending me email get the message yet
don't get any such message on my end. Where can I go to see if I'
actually out of space and/or increase the space? Help anyone
That message has nothing to do with Outlook. You have severa
mailboxes, one is on your mail provider's computer and one is manage
by Outlook on your computer
Normally when you make a connection and "send/receive" email, you

It's possible that your new computer is set so that it does not delet
the messages from the server. So your mail box is full and causes th
bounce messages when other people write to you
On Outlook 2000, here's what I suggest
- Click Tools, Accounts
- Under the Mail tab, click the account you're checking (there migh
be just one), and click Propertie
- Click the Advanced tab and see at the bottom, under Delivery
Remove the checkmark by "Leave a copy of messages on server"
This is the simplest solution, but there might be something else
