I can't send email, and the Mail error message that comes up says why: ”The server response was 4.2.2 Mailbox full“ - - now it may be obvious to everyone but me, and maybe I should just go ahead and start deleting messages in Mail... (that's what my internet provider person told me to do), but I've never come across this before, and I've used Mail since it came out...
Do I have to delete messages, to make more space in Mail, or is there a problem somewhere else?
Thanks for any advice,
MH

Are you using IMAP or POP to access your email?

Thanks for getting back so quickly on this!
I'm using POP.
Funny thing is, I just sent a test message to myself, and it was indeed sent. But the two I couldn't send before are still there in my Outbox, and still getting the same error message when I try to send them.

Problem solved... I had a wrong email address in both emails... this must have confused Mail (it certainly confused me).
Thank you for your note... it made me look at things again.
Cheers,
Malcolm
