Description |

Max messages |
Defines the total number of messages allowed in the mailbox at any one time.
If a user gets a lot of messages, but does not clear them out regularly, this will prevent the messages filling too much space on the hard disk. |
|
Allocated storage |
Defines the hard disk space available for the user mailbox. Enter the amount of space available to this mailbox in either Kb or Mb, e.g. 100Kb (where 1Kb = 1024 bytes) or 1Mb (where 1Mb = 1,048,576 bytes.) |
|
When quota reached |
Defines the action to take if the quota is reached. |
|
No action |
No action will be taken. Selecting this option disables the quota. |
|
Accept and notify |
The mailbox will be allowed to increase in size and quantity of messages, but the administrator will be notified that the quota has been exceeded. |
|
Reject |
Rejects all messages to that mailbox after the quota has been exceeded. |
