To whom it may concern:
	I have been using pine for two years now, and I really like it.
But lately it has been telling me that I have exceeded my quota.  I can
no longer save anything, nor can I update addresses.  What can I do to fix
this?  I have tried deleting stuff that I have saved, but that isn't
working either.  Is this something that I can fix myself or do you have to
do it?  OR do you even know what my problem is?  I would appreciate your
help if you have the time.  Thanks!

Sincerely,
Kris Rempe

Sometimes, after you delete the files to bring your disk usage below the
quota, you need to logout of the machine and re-log in ... I know this is
true with some UNIX systems.  Try removing whatever files that you don't
need to bring yourself down under the quote and logout/login.

One other thing that most people simply do not realize is that on a LOT of
unix systems, you have more than one quota associated with your account.
On the one I use, for instance, I have 3 quotas.  One quota is for my user
account, another is for my mail spool, and yet another is for my space on
/tmp.  If you are deleting messages from your saved folders, you are
deleting them from your USER space.  If it is your MAIL quota that is
overstuffed, deleting saved messages will have no affect whatsoever
(assuming that you have one quota for your userspace and another for your
mail spool, which you probably do)  Do bring your MAIL quota down, you
have to delete stuff from your inbox. If you are interested in the unix
command for checking your quota/usage, try 'man quota'  If you don't want
to read the man pages (shame shame) try 'quota -v', which may or may not
work on your system.

Hope this helps.
