Please note: Student email accounts have a limit to the size of the mailbox. When it reaches the limit, the system will start sending messages to warn you that it is full or nearing full capacity. Once it has exceeded capacity then it will send messages stating your account is closed. Once your account is full you will not be able to send or receive messages until the mailbox is under the size limit. Once you have cleaned up your mailbox then you will be able to send and receive messages again.
