Limits on storage and printing

Email

Incoming mail quotas have a soft limit and a hard limit. As you approach the soft limit, you will be sent automated email warnings that you are reaching or have exceed your quota and that you need to reduce the size of your inbox. A larger 'hard' limit is then in effect for a grace period of one month. If you do not drop back down below the soft limit within a month, or if you exceed the hard limit your email account will become unusable. It's important to note that your email quota is only affected by what's in your inbox. Mail stored in other folders and kept in your home directory affects your Disk Quota.
