Conclusion On Mailbox full - If you get email on your email address which is larger than one megabyte then probably the email may be bounced with mailbox full message if your email address is in over quota state.

I am not been able to receive any email which has more than 1MB size. The error message depicts that my email account has over quota state and i have to delete some email on my email account. But even when I have deleted old emails still i am not been able to receiveemails which has more than 1MB size. If the email has less than it will receive on my email address but when the size goes more than 1MB than the problem comes.

From the above given problem it is hard to predict the email service used by of email program and the email provider information. But yes there are various reasons responsible for rejecting email to come in to your email account which you are using.

Here we will take a look on the possibility for rejecting email to receive on recipients end with respect to the different option which can oppose the email ddress to receive the particular email.

First here is the list of services with which you can manage your email acount.

  • Web based interface provided by the free email service provider like gmail, windows live hotmail, yahoo mail.
  • Email Programs like outlook, thunderbird, outlook express
  • Web based email interface provided by the web email provider for web based email account

If you are using free email service like gmail, yahoo mail, windows live hotmail then might be  deleting your emails can not delete the emails properly whereas the mail server think that the email doesn't delete properly because somewhere either email transfer itself while you are deleting it to the trash folder where email still takes the web server space or any unexceptional error occur at the time of deleting the emails from free email provider.

If you are using email program like outlook or thunderbird to manage email account then might be you have not enable the option of "Delete emails from the server when email downloaded by email program" so still emails on the web mail server and you are not been able to receive upcoming emails.

If you are using any web email service or ISP account service then probably they are providing you little space to save your emails and you need to delete emails regularly from email program and as well as from web based mail server too.
