HOWTO: Determine how much disk space my account is using in Outlook.

Document: Q1239

Overview:

All Link2Exchange accounts are assigned a certain amount of disk space, called a quota, for their mailbox. (The default quotas are 200MB for a $9.95 plan and 400MB for a $14.95 plan).

To determine how much disk space you're currently using, follow the procedure below.

Procedure:

  1. Open Outlook and log into your Link2Exchange account.
  2. Click Go->Folder List.
  3. Right-click 'Mailbox - Your Name' and click Properties for "Mailbox - Your Name".
  4. Click the General tab.
  5. Click the Folder Size button on the bottom of the window.
  6. Click the Server Data tab. This will begin calculating the disk space in use on our server.
  7. Take the number next to Total Size and divide it by 1024. The folder size is listed in kilobytes and Link2Exchange uses megabytes for its quotas. 1024KB = 1MB which is why we're dividing by 1024.

    1. To calculate the number of MB in use, click Start->Run.

    2. Type calc and click OK.

    3. Type in the number shown next to Total Size (above).

    4. Click the division symbol: '/'.

    5. Type in 1024 and click the equals sign: '='. This number is the total number of MB in use on your account.

If you'd like to add more disk space to your account, see: Pricing for extra storage space for your Link2Exchange email account(s) then Changing a user's mail quota via the Link2Exchange Control Panel.

To configure AutoArchive to automatically move email from our server to your PC after a specified period of time, see: HOWTO: Configure your AutoArchive settings in Microsoft Outlook
