Q: How do I manage my email quota?
Answer
1. Move email attachments you’ve received to your local machine from the email server. Attachments can be large and take up space.
2. Go through your messages stored on the mail server regularly and delete those you no longer need. An automatic centralized archival system is configured and archival of email is doing on daily basis. It can be accessed by the following link http://archive.kfupm.edu.sa/search/ .
3. If you have stored messages that you access infrequently, move them to your local machine and delete them from email server.
4. If you setup a mailbox to store copies of messages you’ve sent, be sure to go through it regularly to delete ones you don’t need, or move them to your local machine.
5. If you have a “Deleted Items” or “Junk” folder on the server, make sure it’s emptied regularly.
