To clean out your mailbox:
1. Check the following folders and delete everything that you don’t need to keep.
a. Inbox
b. Outbox
c. Sent Items
Sorting the items by Size may be helpful it ridding yourself of the files that take up the most space. Highlight the items to be deleted, then press Shift and Delete together to permanently delete the items.
2. Delete everything in your Deleted Items folder. To do this, go to the folder, select the Tools menu and click on Empty Deleted Items.
If you are using Outlook 2003, look in the Large Mail folder (located under Search Folders) for emails you can delete. This shows you all large files in any folder in your mailbox, including those with big attachments. If you need to keep attachments, save them elsewhere on your hard drive.
