Default full mailboxes

I know I'm not the only one who has a full mailbox. HELP, I think I've emptied it from every angle, but still I'm told it's full. Obviously I don't seem to get it, can someone help me empty this?

vB totals your PMs from "the beginning" but usually will only show you the last 30 days' worth in your control panel (I think that's the default setting). Messages that you're "tracking" and any items in your "sent items" folders count towards your total as well. When you're in your PM control panel, make sure the left-hand corner says "show messages from the beginning." Then click on the "jump to folder" in the right-hand corner and check out what you've got stored in your "tracking" and "sent items" folders.

Wendy, I'm sorry you're having that problem, too. But now I know I'm not crazy. I've cleared out everything I possibly could short of deleting EVERYTHING; I have something like 28 messages total. Yet system keeps telling people my mailbox is full. Only mods have been able to PM me. I thought it might not be only a problem for me, and that's true.

Don't forget to clean your out box too.

Brie is 100% correct. Follow the instructions she posted and you will be OK... hopefully. If not, let me know and I can delete your PMs from my side.

Thanks for the help. When I hit delete, the web site isn't responding this morning. I'll try again tomarrow.

I can't seem to clear it out. When you can, would you mind clearing it out for me?

TIA

Is there a way within the system that we can archive messages we want to keep? Or do we have to copy them to an external Word file?

In order to save space and keep our costs down there is a limit to the number of messages you can store. This total includes inbox messages, sent, tracking, and saved messages. So following Brie's instruction make sure you remove all unwanted message from each area.

When I click on my "sent messages" from "the beginning" it doesn't delete any of them..... why not?

Question

Did you click in the little box next to the name of the message? It will show a check-mark. That has to be visible for the message to be deleted.

If that's not it, I really don't know!!

Yes. I made many attempts. It acts like it's deleteing, the screen changes, etc... But when I go back and click on all messages from the beginning, they are still there.
