Has anyone heard of any programs to allocate storage space of multiple unused accounts for use towards a single account?
I have a standard ISP account that provides 7 email addresses with 10Mb of storage space each. I am only using 1 of those accounts (all are setup with user/pw). That means that I "have" 60Mb of storage space that I am unable to use, without giving out multiple email addresses. My provider has already stated that they cannot allocate the additional space to my in-use account.

Here's the strategy I would desire.
All the accounts are setup with usernames & passwords.
Let's say I use only account A.
The program should handle the transferring of messages (send, delete) between the other accounts based on available Mb space, allowing me to give out only email address A, and be certain that I will not miss email message due to a Mb limitation for account A.
It would be great if it was included as an add-in to Outlook, but any sort of interface would be fine.

Any leads are greatly appreciated.
 
Your ISP, most likely has a web admin tool for your account in which you can modify your default space settings. I would contact them.

Thanks though Shmoes.

Any other ideas?
 
My bad, I missed that, (although they are full of crap they can do it, they just wont)


I can't think of anything that would work,

mail forwarding wouldn't work..

what admin options does your account have at all?
maybe with that we can come up with an idea.

There's nothing outlook or any aditional programs can do. If you're going to leave a program running, you might as well just leave outlook running and automaticly pull them from the server every 10 minutes or hour or whatever..
that would be the least complicated, but if you wanted something done on the server level, the options would need to be configured there.
