That being said; If you keep all your emails --- your ISP limits the amount of hard drive space it provides for this service. If your space is full of "junk" and old mail then your account is frozen and will not accept any more emails, thereby causing new emails to your 'box' to bounce since "your box is full". -- Some people have convictions.
