I need to expand my storage limit in Outlook. I'm getting an error stating that I'm almost out of storage space.

    Hello !

    Which email service are you using to access your email ? Outlook.com or another provider (which you've set up in Outlook on Windows) .
    If you're using Outlook.com, you'll need to get a Microsoft 365 Basic subscription to extend your Outlook storage. It will give you an additional 100 GB of storage for your emails.
    You should be able to subscribe here : https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/p/microsoft-365-basic/cfq7ttc0ktxs
    If you're using another email provider, I suggest you contact your current service provider to find out what options you have.

    Please let me know if you have any other question !
