Increase Your Email Quota

I just discovered that you are no longer required to keep 100MB of your quota allocated to the Novell System.  This means that you can allocate up to 300MB to your email.  For most users, this is a 50% increase and can give you some much needed breathing room.

NCSU students, faculty and staff can change the quotas allocated to their different Information Technology Department (ITD) accounts. You are given 350 MB of file space to allocate as you see fit between your email, AFS and Novell quotas.

To change your quota allocations, go to: http://sysnews.ncsu.edu/ Click on "login now" under the User Info tab if you are not logged in.

After you have logged in, the "User Info" section has your ITD Account Quotas listed. Click on "Quota Manager" to make any changes. You have 350 MB available for you to allocate. You are required to keep at least 50MB in AFS, so that leaves 300 MB for you to allocate between AFS and Email. If you aren't using Novell or more than 50MB in AFS, put all 300MB in your Email account. Enter the amount you want to allocate to each account and click on the "Submit Change Request" button. Your new allocation will be put into effect by the next morning.

For details about the different quotas, see: Changing Your ITD Account Quotas on the NCCE Intranet.
