If you don't receive any more new messages, or even if you can't send any more, your mailbox answers you with errors instead: you have certainly reached the maximum quota that is allocated to your mailbox.

To check if this is the case, you can connect to your Control Panel: How do I connect to my account?

Disk space:

Once you have logged in, first check that the disk space usage of your account has not reached its limit. To do this, in the"STATISTICS" area, check that the indication under the heading"Disk Usage" does not show a usage close to 100%:

What should I do if my disk space has reached the limit?

You can choose one of the following two solutions:

  1. Do the housework Delete useless files on your account as well as on your e-mail box, for example delete your useless messages, empty the "deleted messages" or "spam" folders, etc... This will at least allow you to continue receiving messages until you make a more permanent decision if you cannot free up much space on your account.
  2. Upgrade to a higher subscription: You can upgrade to a subscription that gives you more storage space in your account at any time. For example, if you have a MAIL subscription that gives you 5GB of storage space, you can upgrade to the 10GB PERSO subscription to double your storage space, or the 50GB EXPERT subscription to increase your storage capacity tenfold.
