If you have maxed out your online storage for email, the act of downloading that mail to an email client may free up a great deal of space.

To check, sign in to Web Mail (https://webmail.earthlink.net) and check the storage meter in the upper-left corner of the screen.

Tips to avoid maxing out your email storage
  1. Every once in a while, follow the instructions given in the link above to free your storage space.
  2. Make sure that your email program is set up to delete messages off the server once you've downloaded them. You'll find a helpful walk-through at: Email Server Settings
  3. Purchase additional storage space through the EarthLink Portal by clicking on My Account Details and the More Email Space option.
