Problems in receiving e-mails can be caused by any of the following:

See the followings for details of each scenario.

The Size of Incoming E-mail Exceeds the Maximum Size of Incoming E-mail

The system administrator may have set the total size of e-mails a user can save, or the maximum size of a received e-mail.
If either the total size of emails that a user can save or the maximum size of a received e-mail is set, user cannot receive e-mails that exceeds the size limit.

You can manage unreceived e-mails using the following actions:

If the Total Size of E-mails Exceeds the Size Limit

When the size of saved e-mails for the user exceeds the total size of e-mails set by the system administrator, you cannot send or receive e-mails.
You can send and receive e-mails again by deleting unneeded e-mails to decrease the size of saved e-mails.

If You Received Partitioned E-mails
