Hi there,
Is it possible to set the exchange server to not send reminders of "your mailbox is over its size limit" every 15 min? I'm traveling overseas and just this weekend I have received over 100 "reminders". All this emails and making my email retrieval very slow and they also contribute to increase the amount of my mailbox.
Note, our limit on email box size is 500MB.
I want to respond something like: The main purpose of the message is to annoy you until you fix it.
I'll probably allude to that, and then tell him to clear out his deleted items and sent items, and it should stop. And tell him to go into the webmail to do it, rather than trying to use Outlook-the-Behemoth.
Yes, the message is annoying. But if we don't have it send constantly, then it means people will claim they never got it and whine even more.

Date: 2004-08-09 07:37 am (UTC)Given that my lusers are recruitment consultants, and they get sh!tloads of CV's in each day, I suppose it's forcing them into good habits.
I can't go into their boxes myself
It's written into the T&C's for our users that I (or anyone else the financial director appoints) can go in, can delete stuff, can read stuff, can move stuff around. As long as I can justify it to the FD, I'm cool.
My lot get one notice every 24 hours.

Date: 2004-08-09 07:45 am (UTC)I just can't fathom needing that much space. I mean, my email at /home/, with stuff that dates back to 1995 and 1996, is probably 100 MB.
