Is Your Inbox Full?

If you are like me, every once in a while, you get that pesky little message that says, "Your Webmail Inbox is full. Please delete some messages to make room." Well what should you do? What gets deleted? Won't I need that later?

Don't panic. First start with the oldest messages first. Delete anything that is really outdated. That message informing you that there will be a faculty meeting after school - but it is dated November, 1999. I don't think you will need to be reminded about that any more so get rid of it. If there is a message that you would like to keep a copy of, there are some choices. You can print a copy and keep the hard copy in a notebook for safe keeping. You could also copy and paste everything into a Word document - copy the heading section first and then the body of the message. Create a folder on your flash drive and/or your hard drive to store all of these new documents so that you will be able to find them later. Maybe create folders inside the folders to organize them by year or subject.

Don't forget to go back and delete the deleted messages from your deleted messages folder. Remember all we get is 100 megabytes of space to use on the district server, so use it wisely.

Thanks for the idea, Richard. I need to post an "Is your inbox full" posting on the FCHS blog.

Keep up the good work!
