Hi, I use vista and outlook express.

For the last 6 months or so I have been receiving an automated message
stating that "mail box is full" and advising me to delete old messages.

My folders are already very small (probably 20 messages in total). If I am
sent an email with more than 4 photos attatched it gets returned to sender.

I have a 350gb hard drive. Why am I receiving this message and how do I
rectify this problem

No you don't. You use Windows Mail.

That message is coming from the server, not WinMail. You must go to your
servers Webmail site and delete messages there.

Then in WinMail:

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Uncheck: Leave a copy of
messages on the server.

Since OE will not run on Vista, what do you REALLY use?

And are you using Hotmail or Gmail or some other email provider?

It might help a lot if you tell us the part of your email address that comes
AFTER the "@" sign.
