Quota warning that the allowed 10.0 GB is full.
For quite some time now, I have been getting a Quota Warning that I was nearing my 10.0 GB limit. Now the program shows that the 10.0 GB limit has been reached, I eliminated a large amount of my emails recently but that action did not make any difference in the Quota Warnings. I was still able to send and receive mail, so I put the Quota Warning into a filter that would automatically send it to the trash folder. Now, after apparently reaching the full 10.0 GB limit, I have lost a vast number of emails I had in various folders. So, I downloaded and installed your newest version and hoped that the problem was solved. I still got the red percentage bar in the lower right hand corner of the pane, indicating the 10.0 GB limit had been reached. So, I went into my Inbox and deleted about 150 messages in there. Now the red warning is not showing in the lower right corner. Was my deletion of the messages in my Inbox effective in affecting this change? Why were my other archived and stored email messages deleted? The fact that they are gone did not, apparently have any bearing on the 10.0 GB limitation. Only the volume of messages in the Inbox has any bearing upon the limitation. Is the IMAP selection rather than the POP3 selection in the settings the place where the 10.0 GB limitation can be eliminated? It would be nice to know the answers to these questions along with a little explanation about why the limitation warning is so vague. Losing mail that you have tried to segregate and preserve is disturbing. Just trying to be nice. I hope you will be too.

David, Thank you for that information. Brief, but to the point and pointing me in the right direction. In contacting my ISP, I was placed into communication with an e-mail Technical Support person who acknowledged that there is indeed a 10 GB Quota limit on all accounts. An indication was given that the limit might be one that could be modified, but I have not pursued that course. The ISP provides their on-line email service in order to make a persons email available to them world wide. That being the case, the 150 messages that I deleted in Thunderbird on my PC had absolutely no effect on the messages held on-line by the ISP server. All of the deletions I have ever done in Thunderbird had no effect on the number of messages kept in the 10 GB of online storage. In todays age, 10 GB is a very minimal amount of space but instead of the 450 messages I had in Thunderbird, I had about 5000 messages held on-line since the beginning of our time using our current email address, which stems back to the mid 90's (~1995). Yes, I know Thunderbird has not been around that long, but my email address and ISP have, so all of those emails were retained. I had never purged any of them. Thanks for helping me get this sorted out.

Please understand that Thunderbird has NO QUOTA; that quota is being enforced by your email provider.

I was glad to assist. Whenever you delete a message from your account, it i deleted from the server as well (assuming IMAP).
