Mailbox Maintenance Tips
There are many things that can help you keep your mailbox to a reasonable size
so that you can avoid many quota issues. These tips will also help
you keep your email well organized and free from junk email.
To help keep your mailbox size down, you can delete old and unwanted messages from
your mailbox and empty the Deleted Items, Sent Items, and Junk Email folders.
Also, by moving the appropriate contents of your inbox and other folders to your
Personal Folders in Outlook, you will help save your allotted storage space on
the server for new, incoming messages.
You can also keep your mailbox free
from SPAM and other junk email by following some basic Anti-Spam Mail Techniques
.
You should now check the quota that you have for your mailbox.
Step 1: To do this, log into the eRaider
website at http://www.eraider.ttu.edu/.
Step 2: Once you have logged in, click on the
Manage your eRaider Account link.
Step 3: The eRaider manager window will now open. You should now click on the TechMail button on the left hand side of the
screen.
Step 4: The TechMail information screen will now open on the
right. Your quota will be listed near the bottom on the line that
says Storage Limit: This is the amount of storage space that you have
allocated to you on the server.
Step 5: You can now close the eRaider manager and
website.
Step 6: Now compare the Storage Limit to the Folder size from
the previous section. If your folder size is larger than the Storage
Limit, your email account will be "over quota" and will not be allowed to
function until the size has been reduced.
