Important
MTNL provides a limited free space to each user for storing mails. It is important that mails are downloaded frequently to keep the server space free for new incoming mails. If you expect a large number of mails kindly downloaded them frequently. Please also make sure that option for delete mail messages on the server is selected. In Internet mail selecting “Mail” “Options” and check the “Advanced settings” can check it. In outlook express this can be verified by checking the advanced properties of the mail account. (Select "Tools" "Accounts" "properties of the account" "advanced settings"). The option "Leave messages on the server" should not be selected. If you are having more than one mail accounts configured, set the latest one as default
