I keep getting this error message. I have plenty of space on my hard drive and I've already deleted over 2000 old emails, archived old emails, and cleared my trash. Still getting this error message. Anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

"There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again."

Did you compact the folders like the message states? If not, do that.
