How to check Gmail Mailbox Size in Outlook
Hi again folks! If you are a Gmail and Outlook user, you might want to take a moment and check your mailbox size. This month I have had to fix three very large Gmail accounts that got to almost 50 gigs in size. Normal email is 2-4 gigs in size. This mailbox check is also for those that have domain emails on a gmail server (Imap.gmail.com)
Let’s get going and I’ll show you how!
-
Right click on your email name in the right hand folder in Outlook, see image to the right.
-
Click on “Data File Properties”
-
Click on “Folder Size” Then you will see a box pop up that tells you what your total size of your mailbox is.
Here is a chart to help you figure out if you’re in trouble soon or not. (tip, if you see the folders “calculating” that is a sign you have a lot of email)
If your total size numbers have over 10000000, you definitely need to move some email out of those folders.
Any numbers over 4000000 should be on a email management plan
Numbers under 4000000 are generally safe, if you have Outlook 2013.
If you are on Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010, you might want to consider upgrading your Outlook, or have email moved off the mailbox.
