It seems MS changed the rules for Outlook at the end of January .. and attachments to emails are now counted towards the 5GB storage limit that MS accords you on One Drive. Whereas previously it was just the email itself that was counted in Drive storage. So it means that your OneDrive will fill up a lot faster as you have found. The daft thing is Outlook mail gives you 15Gb of storage but you can't use it all because the mails and the attachments both now go to One Drive. At present it doesn't seem as tho you can use Outlook without One Drive BUT someone, somewhere will come up with a solution or a workaround. You can just disable onedrive syncing |

In Win 11 on the bottom right of the screen you will see a tiny icon of a cloud. Right click on this and you can turn off oneDrive.
If you go to your outlook account and look at storage it will list your emails with large attachments in size order. Just delete the emails with the large attachments that you don’t need, which will probably be most of them.

This email storage limit by MS is a good move. Servers storing trillions of gigabytes require cooling and server farms use a lot of electricity.

You can just disable onedrive syncing - but will outlook still work? |
