Why do we need limits?

We need these limits to keep the email server running at its optimal performance.Notes about managing your email account size:

• You should try to keep your Inbox and Sent Items folders small in size and in number of items.

• Academic Support units have a 10GB quota on the entire mailbox, which includes all folders (for optimal performance on the client side - usually Outlook in Academic Support).

• Exchange accounts for people in areas outside of Academic Support currently have 50GB storage limits set on their mailboxes 

• You will receive an email warning if you reach your quota

• You won’t be able to send messages if you reach 9.8 GB

• 25MB size limit on individual email message including attachments in or out.

  • When using the Scan to Email feature on Xerox printer-copiers, scan larger documents in smaller segments to avoid exceeding the limit.

  • For an attachment larger than 25MB, use Sendit.

• 30-day limit on Spam or Junk mail before automatically deleting (sending to the trash).

• 30-day limit on Deleted message (empty the trash).

• 30-day retention of deleted messages (messages emptied from the trash but still recoverable by an Outlook user).
