Haven't gotten any email for 2 days because of no disc space-how do I fix this?

haven't reeived any emails for 2 days-a popup tells me i havent got enough disc space left-how can I fix this?

For future reference:
When you get an error message , it is useful to know exactly what the error message said...word for word, as this helps to determine what caused the error message.
The links provided by Airmail offer very good advice on how to maintain a healthy Thunderbird.
Compacting removes hidden 'marked as deleted' emails, thus freeing up space.
'''Advise:'''
Look in each folder including 'Sent' and delete any unwanted emails.
Empty the Junk and Deleted folders.
* right click on folder and select : eg: Empty Junk
Then compact all folders:
* File > Compact Folders.
Archive all emails, both Sent and Received that are older than a couple of months.
Set up Archiving Options first.
* Right click on mail account name and select: 'Settings'
* Select; Copies & Folders' for the mail account
* Click on 'Archive Options' button.
* Set 'Archive Options' to monthly archived folders (if you send on a regular daily basis) and select to 'keep exisitng folder structure of archived messages'.
* click on OK.
* Click on OK to save settings.
then Archive any emails in Inbox, Sent, and any other folder thats older than a couple of months.
Archiving still keeps emails viewable via Thunderbird, but they are moved out of the regular folder, so releasing space in original files.
'Tools' > 'Clear recent history'
You have not mentioned if you have an IMAP gmail account.
If you do, have you subscribed and synchronised the 'All Mail; folder ?
'All Mail' is gmails Archive folder, so it keeps a record of every email. This means it will double the size of your Profile folder.
It is advised that you do not subscribe to see this folder.
To remove stored emails in the All Mail mbox file follow advise from this link...scroll down to the 'All Mail' section:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite
Once you have done all this organising, deleting, compacting and general maintenance, do you still get an error message?

    once you finalize the addressing the list disappears, so how can is affect the subject . For that matter is disappears when it looses focus.
    I have heard of a bug that selects the name that is highlighted when the mouse leaves the selection box if no address is selected. Perhaps that is your issue. Until the issue is fixed I suggest you use tab to leave the address box

    I'm getting an error message when I try the click on a link in an email. No associated application could be found. How do I fix this problem?

    Is this a one-off or a general problem? If a one-off, is it a link to a web page or something else? If not a web page, try control-clicking on it and choosing to download the linked file. This will at least access the file though it might be to something you don't have an application to open with. If you do this, what sort of file do you get? - select it and hit command-i to get information on it.

    What you did was sync it to a computer. The iPhone can sync to ONLY one iTunes library at a time. you can't put media on it from multiple computers. It's been this way since 6/29/2007.

    Completely different issue. What did you think it would do when you set a passcode for the phone?

    Hi SheilaStuhr,
    The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help get you connected to your iPhone's personal hostpot.
    Basic troubleshooting
    See if your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.
    Make sure Personal Hotspot is on: Tap Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Check the Internet connection on your iOS device: Tap Safari and load a new webpage.
    If one connection type doesn't work, try another. For example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, use USB or Bluetooth.
    Turn Personal Hotspot off and on: Tap Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Install the latest version of iOS.
    Reset your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If you still see the issue, restore the iPhone.
    If you're still experiencing issues, try the steps below.
    Wi-Fi troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try these steps:
    Turn Personal Hotspot off.
    Turn on Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Turn on Personal Hotspot.
    If another device can't join your Wi-Fi network, make sure the Wi-Fi password is correct.
    If the device can't see your Wi-Fi network, check your device name. Windows may not correctly show a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
    See how many devices are using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier, the number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three devices at once.
    If the other device still can't connect, turn Wi-Fi off and on for the device.
    Make sure that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
    Note: If you see "Unable to Join" or a timeout error when you try to connect a device using Wi-Fi, remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After the device connects, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your iPhone normally. Your device will stop broadcasting Wi-Fi if you put it to sleep or if 90 seconds elapse and no connected devices use Wi-Fi. To share your Wi-Fi network again, tap Settings > Personal Hotspot.

  • Tried to transfer all my data to iPhone 5 from iPhone 3GS lost my email and app data?  Do you why and how I can fix this?

    Hi...
    Tried to transfer all my data to iPhone 5 from iPhone 3GS lost ONLY my email and app data?  But weird thing is, its still on my old phone!!!
    Do you know why and how I can fix this? 
    Shelley

    How did you "try" to transfer this data? The only way to restore App data is by restoring from a backup that contains the App data, then syncing the Apps back to the phone. Emails are not included in any iPhone backup, only account settings.

  • Im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless i  talk right next to the mic. how can i fix this

    im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound  unless I  talk right next to the mic but it sounds low  . how can i fix this

    - Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • To verify my iCloud account the phone tells me to check my email at an address that is not mine.  How do I fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That's a problem that all users of a second-hand Mac released after the OS X Lion launch have. OS X, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are registered to the Apple ID the first owner used to register the computer, so you can't use them legally without repurchasing them. Furthermore, there's a bigger problem: you have to get iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand on a DVD, because the App Store makes impossible to purchase these applications on a second-hand Mac.
    Nothing will happen if they are already installed, but you won't be able to reinstall and update them, so I recommend you to delete them and buy iLife '11 on a DVD to install the applications from there. Also, take note that you can't also reinstall OS X, so if OS X gets damaged, you will have to take your computer to an Apple Store.
    Open  > About this Mac, and tell us the OS X version you have. If you are using OS X Lion, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion with your Apple ID, so then you will be able to reinstall OS X

  • When I try to send a photo by email, an error message reads "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination"  How do I fix this?

    When I try to send a photo from iPhoto by email, and error message reads "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination".  How do I fix this?

    Try to reenter you rmail account details in the iPhoto Preferences > Accounts tab.
    Delete the mail account entry by pressing the "-" button below the left column in the panel, then add it again by pressing "+".
    Also, it is recommended, to set "Mail" as mail client in the iPhoto preferences, and not iPhoto. This has been working much more reliably lately.
