Mailbox Quota
Hello, I have Exchange 2010 with storage quota's set for Issuewarning and Prohit Send. For example, my mailbox storage limit is 2GB. I set Issuewarning message to be generated at 1.5GB and prohibit from sending at 2GB. What will happen if I hit 2GB threshold? Will I get a message saying I can no londer send till I clear the messages? If a user clear the messages with hard delete, will he/she be able to send again without administrator/ helpdesk intervention? I know I could receive messages as I have not prohibit parameter set for receiving. TIATom

This works as advertised. Once you reach 2 gig, you will receive an error that your mailbox is over size limits and will not be able to send. Also many users have the feeling that deleted items are NOT part of their mailbox quota, so user training will be necessary. Howwever once they have deleted mail, they will once again be able to send.

Thanks all. Should I get a warning message similar to "Issuewarning" when I am over my limit if "Prohibit receive" is unlimited? Or I get a Outlook triggered popup when I try to send message? TIATom
