I find it’s easier to just choose the correct one from this dialog box, so swap that drop-down to the account you’d like to get the sizes for, then select the “Quota Limits” tab (or “Messages on Server” if you’re using Exchange).ĭepending on how much email you’ve got in the chosen account, you may need to go get a cup of coffee. By default, the account that’ll be chosen will be from whatever server-side mailbox you had selected in the sidebar before clicking the gear icon. In the subsequent window, you’ll see a drop-down menu at the top. Choose “Get Account Info” from the menu that’ll appear. Open Mail, of course, and then click the gear icon in the lower-left corner. However, the Mail application does have a pretty handy way to see which mailboxes are using up the most space, which can be a lifesaver if you’re trying to decide where to focus your cleanup efforts! Of course, those emails take up space both on your computer if you’re using Mail (or any similar program, such as Outlook) and on the server that your messages are passing through. One of the downsides of email is that, if you’re not diligent about keeping your mailboxes tidy, you’re gonna end up with a ton of old stuff.
