CONFIGURING


Setting mail file quotas
You can set two types of size limits on a user's mail file: an absolute quota size and a warning threshold. Set a quota if you intend to establish a policy of interrupting users' mail usage if their mail files exceed a specified size. Set a warning threshold to provide users with advance notice when their mail files approach the designated mail file quota, so they can reduce the size of their mail files before message flow is interrupted. You must set a quota before you can set a warning threshold.

You can specify mail file quota indicator settings on the desktop policy settings document. The mail file quota indicator settings designate whether a mail quota indicator is displayed on the Notes® client, and if it is displayed, the automatic update interval for the mail quota in minutes and whether the mail quota is refreshed when the cursor hovers over the mail quota indicator.

Quotas and warning thresholds can be associated with a particular mail file database only, not with a user ID. If a user has access to an alternate mail file, the quota set on the primary mail file has no effect on the alternate mail file. You set these quota limits and warning thresholds:
