Most Exchange users will be subject to a 1GB storage quota. This quota is being created to ensure optimal performance of the system and to ensure good stewardship of email resources.
Most Exchange users will experience no impact related to the existence of quotas. Users who regularly take steps to manage their accounts are likely to stay well below their storage quota.
For users who are approaching their established quota, an automated, daily message informing them of their status will be sent to their Inbox. If the quota is surpassed, users will be prohibited from sending messages, but will continue to receive messages until their utilization is reduced below their established quota.
It is easy to find out how much storage space your Exchange mailbox takes up. This can be done through Outlook or through Outlook Web App (OWA) on Windows, or using Mail on Macintosh.
