Subject: I have a problem with e-mail

Hello.  I am a student at Binghamton University.  I am unable to receive
e-mail over the pine system and I need this as a part of my studies (I get
work for chemistry via e-mail).
When I open the pine system it immediatly reads "mail box over quota."
Under this it says "read above message andthen press return."  I do this
yet I still do not receive my mail.  My mailbox is not full because I have
emptied it out and I have 7 messages left in it.  It is now Tuesday and I
haven't received any new mail since Sunday.  This is very distressing.  I
would greatly appreciate a reply as soon as possible so I can get my work
again.
	Thank you very much,
	Alexandra Joseph
 	([email-masked], since I am unable to receive mail on my
"[email-masked] address)

You have a quota problem. If you're familiar with the system *cough*
try saying:

    du ~/

and then rm all files/dirs that you don't need. Quota is something by
which *all* your files are affected, not just your mail.

If in doubt, consult your helpdesk or the local hardware store...

Cheers,
Robin
