What is mailbox quota?

You are here

The term quota keeps coming up to a user if they get an error message saying "the email bounced because of the mail quota" most times it is something like that.

The word quota stands for "space or amount". 

How much quota do I have as a staff?

Every staff has been given 100 MB as the amount of space they can have for their mail box. The reason it is not as much is because the community is Makerere is so big that the space has to be monitored. Makerere is looking into investing in more mail space by buying high end back up servers and when this is done, space will increase.

How much quota do I have as a student?

Every student has 80 MB given to them.

To avoid letting your quota fill up and then you get into the habit of having to delete all the time, see this link, How to pop mail to outlook client, Mozilla thunderbird, Eudora etc

Configuration

While configuring the mail box settings for the IMAP and POP, the server is mail.mak.ac.ug or webmail.mak.ac.ug
