Answer 1

It means you have too many saved emails.

Go and delete some junk and make sure the trash bin in the email is emptied.

STEP ONE
First you need to clean out your old mail, If you see a list of folders on the left, ( Inbox, sent items, deleted items, ) if not, Click view then click folder list. So you should see the folder list on the left of your outlook, click the sent items you will see a bunch of mails, click one once, to turn it blue, then hold ctrl and while holding press and release the letter " A " Then Press and release the letter " D " (still holding the ctrl key). Next click the deleted items folder on the left, then repete, click one once, to turn it blue, then hold ctrl and while holding press and release the letter " A " Then Press and release the letter " D " (still holding the ctrl key). If your inbox has a lot of mails in it you will want to delete any that you don't need. Then procede to step two.
