Members of staff have a 250MB mail quota. Further increases in mail quota will be made in due course.
All users, (in particular, those who access their email through UoM Webmail or have their email program configured for IMAP), should ensure that the email quota is not exceeded, otherwise they will not be able to receive further messages.
Users can monitor their email quota here.
Users approaching the email quota limit are encouraged to delete unwanted messages or move old messages from the server to their local folder. It is suggested that all messages in the mailbox are first copied to the local folder and then the old messages deleted from the mailbox as follows:
- In Mozilla Thunderbird, click Edit menu.
- Point to Select.
- Click All so that all messages will be selected.
- Click Message menu.
- Point to Copy.
- Choose Local Folders.
- Choose Inbox or any other folder where you want to copy the selected emails.
- Repeat steps 1-8 for any other folders containing messages to copy.
- After copying the messages, you can proceed with deleting any messages from the mail server.
