Does anybody know if there is any way that you can get you mailbox usage increased?
please help

No, you'd need to set up a mail client on your computer such as Windows live Mail or Outlook Express.

Scroll down the page it will allow you to click on the mail client you have, just follow the instructions.

imho get a googlemail account & set the virginmedia mailbox to forward mail to that - that way you keep the same 'main' email address, but benefit from the vastly superior space available via googlemail.

thanks everyone but does that mean i will still have to empty the vm account

Yes but when you set up the mail client it should automatically download any emails sitting in your inbox.
If you have sub folders set up, move them one folder at a time into the inbox then reopen the mail client, it will download these and you can then move into sub folders you'll create on the mail client.
