What is the size of inbox alloted to me?

The maximum size of inbox allotted to you is 200MB. If your inbox size exceeds this limit, you will not be able to get any new mail. You will be warned when your mailbox size is about to reach the maximum.

You can check the usage of your inbox in webmail too.

What if INBOX is full?

Create new folder outside INBOX folder and move all the inbox mails to that folder (All the mail clients have an option to create new folder). It is better to use mail filters to automatically move the mails to other folders so that INBOX never goes out of space.
