Mailbox : Over Quota

Resolved:

What Apple doesn't tell you that if the icloud space is filled up (5GB or near about), it will stop accepting any more emails to the icloud account. I was on IM with them today and they couldn't figure out why that might be so they send me to an expert to call me. He also didn't help much but while talking to him and looking at the message I realised that this is what apple says : "Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support"

Mail

You can free up iCloud storage space when you delete email messages from your iCloud email account. You can also move email messages from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or PC, where they no longer count against your iCloud storage.

Use the steps below to delete messages from your account. Remember that messages with large attachments take up more space than simple text emails.)

Once I deleted a few folders (mainly job ads etc), it started working again and after that I am not seeing any " Over Quota"

Hope this helps in your case too.

Log in to your iCloud accont via https://www.icloud.com/

Select Mail icon on the iCloud main page.

Browse all the folders, especially the one named Deleted Messages and remove any superfluous message.

check your iCloud settings and make adjustments. Turn off what is not needed ex: reminders,notes,etc and if you have a lot of photos i would suggest importing them onto the computer.

Open System Preferences > ICloud

Click on Manage

In the Manage window you can see what is taking up space on the cloud. Delete or remove items from the cloud.
