    Default Email issue.

    Had an email bounced for the following reason.

    Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:

    Recipient address: ******@me.com
    Reason: Over quota


    Not my quota, cos I can send them to other emails just fine.

    Perhaps I should email her and ask her to empty it?

    What's with this " quota" though? Never heard of that before.

    Cheap, free crappy accounts.
    Why people don't get proper email accounts I don't know as they are forever getting hacked.
    Even a personal domain. Costs pounds a year and you can set what you want then.
    Unfortunately www.oakley.co.uk was taken, but if you name is siridipidopolus or something why not?

    Put as simply as I know how:

    Quota = storage limit in a shared resource.

    Justin, the meaning of the word I am more than familiar with, thank you very much.
    What I am unfamiliar with is the imposition of a quota on emails, especially incoming.

    Storage space on servers is limited. The cheaper the email provider the more likely it is a user will run out of space. I've 'only' got 1GB of space on my business email account & I suspect that it would bounce emails if my inbox was full too. Working in day jobs where I've had a company email account I've seen this happen a lot.

    Fwiw I've just looked up me.com. Apple. Say no more.

    Ah. Now you mention it, I suspect I've got a limit, I remember Marc J explaining about deleting things from the server. Sorry Justin.

    Seeing as it's an iCloud thing I suspect that the storage quota they get is shared across emails, photos, music & other files. It takes some doing to fill most inboxes these days unless the provider is REALLY stingy. They're also not likely to notice it's full until it's too late which is the sad thing.

    This is one of the reasons I made a phone number mandatory on my contact form. BTW this is likely a NAD lead Peter, where they've opted not to give you a number, I realise that
