Every mailbox hosted by Cruzio has a fixed allowance, or quota, of storage space on the Cruzio mail server. If your mailbox fills up, incoming mail will bounce back to the sender instead of being delivered to you.  Every Cruzio Domain mailbox starts with a quota of 50 megabytes (MB) shared between all folders.

Make Space in Your Mailbox

  1. Browse to cruzio.com and go to Domain Tools.
  2. Enter your domain name (part of your email after the @ symbol), select “Webmail” and click “Go”.
  3. Log in with your full email address and password.
  4. Delete unnecessary email, especially messages with large attachments.
  5. Keep unwanted mail out of your mailbox by turning on your Cruzio Junk Mail Filter.
  6. If the Inbox in your email program isn’t large, yet mail is bouncing, then your email program is probably leaving copies of your messages on the Cruzio server. In this case, follow the instructions below for your email program.
