Overview
Microsoft is now closely managing Exchange mailbox storage space and is setting lower quotas for all users. This reduces the risk of a security breach due to "data sprawl" and gives ECU the opportunity to modernize our account life cycle so your information is better protected.
See the quotas set for user groups below. Most users will work well within their quota; however, if you feel you require more space, submit the ECU Email Support request.

Storage quota: 50GB
Auto-archiving process: Inbox messages older than 2 years automatically move to your Online Archive folder. Archived items do not count as part of your mailbox quota, but are available at any time and included in searches. The folder maintains the same folder structure as your inbox.
If your mailbox reaches 80-90 percent capacity, an email alerts you. Manually move or delete items or request more space. An increase in your mailbox quota must have a business justification.
