Recommended Solution

Use Spam settings

If you feel that your mailbox is filling up due to excessive amounts of junk mail you should use the @home Spam settings to limit the effects of junk mail on your mailbox. In particular you may wish to use the automatic deletion options that are available. For details on how to configure these settings see How to use Spam settings.

Use Outlook

One of the main advantages of using an email client such as Outlook is that it allows you to store your emails on your local computer, rather than in your mailbox on the server. By downloading your mails to Outlook you prevent your mailbox from filling up, provided that you have configured Outlook to remove mails from the server once they have been downloaded.
