Problem
I still receive [mailbox-guard] emails telling me my inbox is over quota. But my inbox is empty. What can i do?
Solution
Using IMAP, mails you delete are only "marked as deleted", hence still use disk-space. Often they are just not shown anymore by the mail client. To definitely purge them, follow these steps:
- Alpine
- Press "X"
- AppleMail
After having moved your mails from the inbox to the other folder, use "Mailbox->Erase Deleted Items" from the menu or press Command-Shift-Backspace.
- Thunderbird
- Select the mailbox and choose "Compact Mailboxes" from the File menu
- Outlook & Entourage
- Select the mailbox and choose "Purge deleted messages" from the Edit menu
- Eudora
- in the Special menu select "Compact Mailboxes" or set your account-properties to automatically purge old mail

Select the emails which are grey (marked as deleted) and click the Move message to trash the button
