MAILBOX STORAGE LIMITS


HERE'S HOW TO STAY CONNECTED

See everything Outlook has to offer.

Click to unlock Outlook


If your mailbox is nearing its maximum capacity, we will begin sending you
emails and in-app messages telling you your storage is almost full. If it does
exceed capacity, you won't be able to send or receive any messages. Also, people
who send you email will receive an error message that tells you your mailbox is
full.

Select your product from the tabs below.



New OutlookOutlook on the webOutlook.com


I GET A "QUOTA EXCEEDED" OR "MAILBOX FULL" MESSAGE

Note: If you have a group mailbox that is almost full, please go to the group
mailbox section below.

To see how much mailbox storage you've used and quickly clear up space, open
your Settings and search for Storage.


CLEAN UP YOUR MAILBOX

Outlook accounts can have up to 100GB of storage per mailbox (Exchange Online
mailbox storage limits). Administrators can reduce maximum mailbox sizes per
user or globally, see: How to set Exchange Online mailbox sizes and limits in
the Microsoft 365 environment for details.

From the Accounts > Storage page you should see a breakdown of how much space
each folder in your mailbox is taking. Below, you should see a list of the
folders represented in the breakdown with the option to permanently delete all
items (or those older than 3, 6, or 12 months) in these folders to free up
space.




PERMANENTLY DELETE EMAIL

When deleting items from Inbox or other folders, items are sent to the Deleted
Items folder by default. The Deleted Items folder does count against your
mailbox storage quota until it is manually emptied.

To permanently delete a message or messages, select or highlight the messages,
press Shift and DEL on your keyboard.


OTHER WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR STORAGE

To make room in your mailbox, try the following solutions.

SWEEP UNWANTED EMAIL FROM YOUR INBOX

Use the Sweep button to quickly remove unwanted email from your inbox or archive
folders. Sweep lets you automatically delete all incoming email from a
particular sender, keep only the latest message from that sender, or delete
email that's older than 10 days.

To sweep your inbox, choose a message you want to sweep, and select Sweep.



To learn more about Sweep, see Organize your inbox with Archive, Sweep, and
other tools.

Important: Items deleted using Sweep will not count toward reducing your storage
quota until they are also deleted from the Deleted Items folder.

SAVING ATTACHMENTS TO ONEDRIVE IS ANOTHER GOOD WAY TO MAKE ROOM IN YOUR INBOX

 1. At the top of your message list, select Filter > Sort by > Size.
    
    
    
    Note: If the message list sorts the smallest messages on top, click Filter >
    Sort by > Size again to put the largest messages on top. 

 2. Select the message containing the attachments you want to upload to
    OneDrive.

 3. Beneath the attachment, select Save to OneDrive.
    
    

 4. Permanently delete the original email that contained the attachment by
    pressing Shift and DEL on your keyboard.

DELETE EMAIL MESSAGES THAT INCLUDE FILES OR PHOTOS

To delete the file or image, you must delete the message it's attached to:

 * For All images, find the corresponding message in your mailbox and delete it.

 * For Sent images, go to your Sent Items, find the corresponding
   message, then delete it.

 * After deleting the message, you also need to delete it from your Deleted
   Items folder. Go to Deleted Items, select the item or items to remove,
   then select Delete.


HOW ELSE CAN I INCREASE SENDING AND STORAGE LIMITS

If you are still unable to make enough space using the above methods you can try
the following:

 * Move items to your archive mailbox.

 * Reach out to your IT admin and ask for them to provision you more space (see
   Exchange Online mailbox storage limits and How to set Exchange Online mailbox
   sizes and limits in the Microsoft 365 environment for details).


I GET AN EMAIL THAT MY GROUP MAILBOX IS ALMOST FULL

You can permanently delete messages to clean up your group mailbox. Only a group
owner can delete messages from a Microsoft 365 group mailbox.

 1. Sign in to New Outlook by using the owner credentials for the group.

 2. Locate the group under Groups that is full or is close to reaching capacity.

 3. Select the Group or Group Inbox and select the check box to Select all
    messages from the group.

 4. Press shift+delete and select OK to confirm you want to delete all messages
    permanently.

 5. Follow the same steps for Groups\Deleted items folder, to delete any email
    items present there. The Microsoft 365 group mailbox should be empty in a
    few minutes.

 1. Sign in to Outlook on the web by using the owner credentials for the group.

 2. Locate the group under Groups that is full or is close to reaching capacity.

 3. Select the Group or Group Inbox and select the check box to Select all
    messages from the group.

 4. Press shift+delete and select OK to confirm you want to delete all messages
    permanently.

 5. Follow the same steps for Groups\Deleted items folder, to delete any email
    items present there. The Microsoft 365 group mailbox should be empty in a
    few minutes.


I GET A "QUOTA EXCEEDED" OR "MAILBOX FULL" MESSAGE

To see how much mailbox storage you've used and quickly clear up space, open
your Settings and search for Storage.

Open Outlook.com Settings

HOW TO CLEAN UP YOUR MAILBOX

Microsoft offers 15 GB of email storage space per free Outlook.com account.
Microsoft 365 subscribers get 50 GB of space.

From the Settings > Storage page you should see a breakdown of how much space
each folder in your mailbox is taking. Below, you should see a list of the
folders represented in the breakdown with the option to permanently delete all
items (or those older than 3, 6, or 12 months) in these folders to free up
space.

If you are not a Microsoft 365 subscriber, you also have the option to upgrade
to get 50 GB of space as well as other premium Outlook and Microsoft 365
features.





HOW TO PERMANENTLY DELETE EMAIL

When deleting items from Inbox or other folders, items are sent to the Deleted
Items folder by default. The Deleted Items folder does count against your
mailbox storage quota until it is manually emptied or the emails are
automatically deleted after 30 days, whichever happens first.

Note: Items in the Junk folder are automatically deleted after 10 days.

To permanently delete a message or messages, select or highlight the messages,
press Shift and DEL on your keyboard.

HOW ELSE CAN I INCREASE SENDING AND STORAGE LIMITS?

You can increase sending and storage limits by upgrading your Outlook.com
account with a Microsoft 365 subscription. This gives you:

 * Advanced email security

 * An ad-free inbox

 * A 50 GB mailbox per person

 * Larger OneDrive storage, installable Microsoft 365 apps, and much, much more!
