Every time I send an email, a message at the bottom says, "sent message
failed."  It also says disk quota exceeded.  I have deleted ALL of my
saved messages...and it still say that.  What is wrong with my email
account.

As it says, your quota is exceeded.

>From the netiquette:

ELECTRONIC MAIL AND FILES- USER RESPONSIBILITY
The content and maintenance of a user's electronic mailbox is the
users responsibility:
-    Check Email daily and remain within your limited disk quota.
-    Delete unwanted messages immediately since they take up disk
     storage.
-    Keep messages remaining in your electronic mailbox to a minimum.
-    Mail messages can be downloaded or extracted to files then to
     disks for future reference.

Pine supports all these functions. Pls cf the appropriate passages
from pine's help.

Your quota problem:

	man quota
	cd ~/
	du ~/ | sort -s

Then	rm <whatever is too big> -rf

Cheers,
Robin
