Incoming emails Bounce Back to Sender

I was on Spectrum using Road Runner email then changed to AT&T with Road Runner email.  I am able to send emails but incoming messages bounce back to the sender.  I receive the following message:

A message was sent to you that was returned to the sender(bounced)

because it would have caused your mailbox quota to be exceeded.

 

The following is the reason that the message was over quota:

 

       Quota Type: bytes in the mailbox

  Quota Available: 0.0KB

      Total Quota: 5000000.0KB

I have gone through all  my folders and have very few items saved.  I used to have pictures and videos saved and those are all cleaned out so there should be no reason for emails to bounce back to the sender.  What can I do to resolve this issue once and for all?

Hi @gzig1, we are happy to help with your email concerns.

 

We will need more information in order to better assist you.

 

  • Are you trying to use a email client to send and receive your emails?
  • Are you using a AT&T email ( http://sm.att.com/91aa6bb9 http://sm.att.com/d8706758 etc.)?
  • Which email client are you trying to use?

Your desktop email program (like Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail) or mobile email app will use either POP3 or IMAP to send and receive email.

Let us know it this information helps.
