How much mail can you store using windows mail

Windows Mail, which is a built-in email client in Windows Vista and Windows 7, has a storage limit for emails. The exact limit depends on the version of Windows and the storage capacity of your computer.

Here are the storage limits for Windows Mail:

• Windows Vista: 2 GB (gigabytes) of storage space for emails.
• Windows 7: 4 GB (gigabytes) of storage space for emails.

If you exceed these limits, you may experience issues with Windows Mail, such as:

• Emails not being saved or deleted
• Slow performance or crashes
• Errors when trying to send or receive emails

To free up storage space in Windows Mail, you can try the following:

1. Delete unnecessary emails: Go to the "Deleted Items" folder and delete any emails you no longer need.
2. Empty the "Deleted Items" folder: Right-click on the "Deleted Items" folder and select "Empty Folder" to permanently delete the emails.
3. Compact the mailbox: Go to "File" > "Data File" > "Compact" to reduce the size of your mailbox.
4. Move emails to an external storage device: Consider moving large attachments or emails to an external storage device, such as an external hard drive or cloud storage service.

If you need to store more emails than the default limit, you may want to consider using a third-party email client or a cloud-based email service, such as Gmail or Outlook.com, which often have much larger storage limits.
