Quota Concerns
If
you are a heavy email user, or even a light user, you may want to check
your email quota. Each TCNJ user is allotted 76.8 MB in space for
their email account. This is a large amount of space, but
can quickly fill up if you don't maintain your email folders. To
check your email quota, log into TCNJ webmail, http://webmail.tcnj.edu.
In the upper left hand corner, you will see the percentage of space that
is being used by your email account. If it's over 70%, you should
start deleting messages from your folders or moving messages to your
local folders. If your quota gets too high, you will stop
receiving new messages and you will be unable to delete messages, so
it's important to always keep your eye on that percentage. If
you are over quota and are having trouble deleting messages, click
here and follow these instructions on how to delete messages through
webmail. To delete messages in Netscape Messenger 1.
Open Netscape Messenger. There is an option in Messenger that
allows you to sort by size. If you send and receive large files,
it's a good idea to sort your messages by size and eliminate the large
ones first. You will be surprised how much space you will get back
from removing these files. 2.
Select the message you want deleted, click on the delete button
located on the top menu. The message is now moved to the trash
folder. Remember to search all of your folders including the Sent
folder. 3.
The last step is to empty the trash folder. To do this, select
'File' and click on "Empty Trash'. The emails are now removed from
the server and you reclaim space. For more information on email quota and removing or saving messages, please contact the HelpDesk x2660 |
