Information about Quota Thresholds

  • It is ESS' recommendation to not turn down quota increase requests. As an individual mailbox exceeds the thresholds set by TuftsTools a request to the UITSC can be made to increase via the Exchange Management Console to higher amounts. individual accounts at this juncture should not exceed 10gb for mailbox quota without approval from ESS specifically.

Recommendations for Administrative Maintenance of Quota

Students

  • 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.
