Yep, the message is meant to be taken literally; it has nothing to do with
Windows Mail, or indeed any mail client or OS. The problem is on the mail
server.
This happens because your mail clients are set to leave messages on the
server, and probably to never delete them. Change the mail client settings
to delete from the server after perhaps 10 or 30 days, and you'll probably
never run into the problem again.
Log into the web interface for your mail, sort by size or date, and delete
messages, starting with the largest or oldest.
If you absolutely have to leave all the mail up there forever, you'll need
to contact your mail provider and purchase more space. And it's probably
worth pruning what's there once in a while.
