  1. A new window will pop-up listing the folders in your mailbox and two sizes. The important one is Total size. Total size tells you how much space each folder in your mailbox is using. Typical folders that will be very large are Deleted Items, Inbox, and Sent Items. You will want to delete any messages that you no longer need. Any messages that you do not want to delete should be archived.
