  • To manage the size of your mailbox, delete old messages that you no longer need. You might also want to save large attachments to your computer and then delete them from your inbox.
  • Email in your Trash folder is automatically deleted after 30 days. You might want to manually empty your Trash folder if you need to free up space. To empty your Trash folder, right-click the folder, and then select Empty folder. Remember that when you do this, the items in your Trash folder are permanently deleted and can't be recovered.
