OpiumTrail Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I recently received the following message in my Horde web e-mail inbox: The mailbox ********** is almost full. You should remove some emails from the box as soon as possible to prevent losing any future mail. This mailbox is currently 96.12% full. What exactly does this mean? Furthermore, is there any way I can download an archive of all my old mail before I start freeing up space? Thanks, Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpiumTrail Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 I'm going to try the "Download folder(s)" command to see if that does the trick. How do I restore folders saved in this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCH-Andy Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi, The " /home/<USER_NAME>/mail/inbox " file is your 'default' email account, if you have not changed it. ie. If you login to mail using your cpanel username and password. Yes, you can download a backup copy of any folders in the "mail" directory as a backup. Personally I would take a home backup - then it will take a copy of all email accounts, and your html files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Serpentine Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Also, that is an account that most users do not use. Often it is a default email account so it catches quite a bit of SPAM. You might want to log into ot via the webmail interface and have a look to see what is there and if it is just spam then you could blackhole or fail that address to prevent it from storing mail that you do not want.
