The Problem

Exceeding your Inbox disk space limit

The Solution

Clean up your Inbox

It's simple: The e-mail messages in your Inbox take up more disk space than has been allotted to your Inbox.

Each evening, a program runs on the central system that automatically sends a warning to all accounts with an Inbox size greater than 10MB. If the Inbox reaches the maximum limit allowed, the Inbox will be archived and taken off the central system.

Unlike a UDelNet account's overall disk quota limit, Inbox disk space is a shared resource. Therefore, it needs to be managed so that the UD central system is available to all who use it.

All e-mail messages that you receive and retain in your Inbox count toward your Inbox's disk space limit. And if any e-mail message contains an attachment (which can be extremely large), those attachments also count. Even a small number of e-mail messages that contain an attachment can place your Inbox over its disk space limit.
