Most e-mail programs contain an option to leave copies of e-mail messages on the server. We recommend you leave this option disabled to prevent old e-mail messages from taking up your hosting account's limited disk space, thereby reducing the chance that your account will experience an overage.
To learn how to prevent copies of your messages from being left on the server, select your e-mail program from the list below:
From the Tools menu, click Accounts.
From the Internet Accounts dialog box, click to select your e-mail account. Click Properties.
From the account Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
From Delivery, click to clear Leave a copy of messages on server. Click OK.
Click Close.
From the Edit menu, click Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings.
From the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings dialog box, click to select Server Settings.
Click to clear Leave messages on server. Click OK.
From the Tools menu, click Options.
From the Options dialog box, click to select Incoming Mail.
Click to clear Leave mail on server. Click OK.
