How to Fix It

1. Contact the Recipient

Let them know their mailbox is full. They need to delete old messages or increase their quota.

2. Reduce Message Size

Remove or compress attachments. Use file sharing services for large files instead.

3. Try Again Later

Server storage issues are often temporary. Your mail server will automatically retry.
