Finding and removing large emails
One option for reducing the size of your email account is to archive older emails to a trusted computer. However it can be quicker and easier to just delete old emails which have large attachments.
Finding emails which are 500kb or even 1Mb or larger and deleting them is a fast way to clean up your account and reclaim account space. Although some attachements are important, they are often duplicated on your computer or in your cloud storage and don't also need to be kept in your email account.
