Information about Quota Thresholds
...
- Students that are forwarding email outside of Exchange AND are hitting a quota warning should be recommended to either maintain their quota or modify their forward to no longer save copies of mail at Tufts. Quota increases should not be issued for students that simply forward their mail. The quota report has a last-login field that can be used to confirm if the student regularly uses the Tufts Exchange mail service.
Faculty/Staff/Employees
- Faculy Faculty and Staff that approach their 3g default quota may be increased by 500mb at a time up to 4gb, although a note explaining suggested quota maintenance should be sent along with a confirmation that the quota was increased by 500mbare encourage to take advantage of quota increases rather than usage of local folders or other local based archival solutions.
