HEELLPP Outlook express problems

Post by Fireman on a Storm »

I am running XP home. (on a new PC)

I use Outlook Express for my emails.

I keep getting an Admin message coming up saying "high watermark reached delete some e/mails"

I did not have this problem on my old PC with Outlook Express when running XP or 98se. I have not got a quarter of the e/mails on the new pc as I have on the old one. (I've still got the old PC running in the kids room.

I have broadband with NTL and have called them. They have said the message is not from NTL it's generated from my PC. Can I adjust the "water mark" in outlook. (I asume the water mark is a term for being full up)

Would the "water mark " on Microshoft Outlook be any different?

HEEELLLPPP Please :?

The high watermark is usually the top size of your mail box on your mail server. This isnt on your pc, it will be burried inside the NTL bunker somewhere.

You should have a web front end for your e-mail on a NTL page somewhere, log in that way and see how much mail there is in there. If there is then delete some of it.

I've got a theory but I need to know if i'm on the right track first.

The server was set to keep e/mails for 20 days, I have reset it to 4 days.
I am running my old PC up stairs as a back up, that's why it was set to keep e/mails
I'll see how this goes
