Q: iPhone rejects incoming email because it is “over quota.”
I send an email via my iPhone or iPad to a specific recipient’s iPhone and iPa. Almost as immediately I get this response from Apple:
Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:Recipient address: jenniferadams@icloud.com
Reason: Over quota
I don’t know what “Over quota” means, or how to help my intended email recipient resolve this problem. We are both using iPhone 5 and iPad Air devices with current operating systems. Does anyone here know anything about this? Thanks!

For their own email system, iCloud mail, Apple is very clear on account limits - Mailbox size and message sending limits in iCloud - Apple Support
Note that your free iCloud email account shares space with anything and everything else you put into your iCloud storage (5GB default with the free iCloud account setup).
