@zpeterk Do you empty the 'Deleted' folder? If you don't, this is still counted in the overall size.

Re: Email from plusnet on mail box size

OK. My next suggestion is to run the 'compact' option from the cog at the bottom of the page. I'm struggling a bit here, by the way, because I don't use webmail (or IMAP), and haven't really investigated it in the 35-40 years I've been involved with computers/IT.

Another question which springs to mind - how many email addresses do you have?
