So, you need to check if the data storage reached to its maximum limit. Because the error can arise if the size of disk space exceeds its limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you can try two options for this, either you can change the quota limit of your email or clear the disk space to delete a few unnecessary emails. Either way, you will have free space access to your email account and maybe you start receiving new emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To view the disk space, tap the email icon in cPanel. To increase the size of the specified email quota, follow the steps discussed below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Login to <a href=\"https:\/\/cpanel.net\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cPanel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"416\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/domainregistrationindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/cpanel.png\" alt=\"Emails\" class=\"wp-image-96\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/domainregistrationindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/cpanel.png 416w, https:\/\/domainregistrationindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/cpanel-271x300.png 271w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Go to <strong>Email Accounts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/domainregistrationindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-6-1024x480.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/domainregistrationindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-6-1024x480.png 1024w, https:\/\/domainregistrationindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-6-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/domainregistrationindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-6-768x360.png 768w, https:\/\/domainregistrationindia.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-6.png 1302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Ensure <strong>Email Accounts<\/strong> are selected from the available tabs.&nbsp; From here, you can immediately review current emails and their current <strong>Usage<\/strong> or <strong>Quota<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hw-images.hostwinds.com\/strapi-images\/2018_09_06_Email_Accounts_Usage_Quota_Location_Screenshot_1_6c65ad2195.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> If the current storage is full, you can try either deleting emails or expanding the <strong>Disk and Quota<\/strong> by selecting it.&nbsp; You can expand the current limit or set it to unlimited.&nbsp; Select <strong>Save<\/strong> when done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hw-images.hostwinds.com\/strapi-images\/2018_09_06_Reviewing_Disk_Quota_Location_Screenshot_1_ab42ca302e.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s worth noting.
