nativity30215 Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Foks - What is the best way to manage the disk space used by my user's email? I'd optimally like to be able to have the files deleted after a certain number of days. Right now, I'm logging in as each user and deleting those messages by hand. Not fun! Any suggestions? THANKS!

MikeJ Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 You can set quotas on their mail when you create/edit their accounts. I generally prefer to push quotas on people than delete their mail. This forces them to either delete their mail regularly so they can get new mail, or configure their POP access to download the mail and delete from server. Quote
DarqFlare Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 I'm in with Gorilla on this one. It's a really good idea to set a quota. Then for them to continue the use of their account effectively, they'll have to remove messages every so often. POP3 "download them remove" is a really great way to do it as well, but the only drawback of that is that they aren't on the server, so the user would only be able to view old mail on their home computer. But that's better than having to delete it off the server and not even having it at home. Quote
n2access Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 I'm looking for a way for each end user to see how much of their alloted quota they are using. .. maybe expressed as a percentage like hotmail does. How can a user tell when they get close to the storage limit? Quote
