This screen is used for designating the default values for account quota settings. These options correspond to the Quotas settings on the Account Editor.
Quotas
Enable quota restrictions
Check this box if you wish to set quotas for all new accounts. You can specify a maximum number of messages that accounts can store, set a maximum amount of disk space that accounts can use (including any file attachments in the each account's \Files\ folder), and designate a maximum number of messages that accounts can send per day. If a mail delivery is attempted that would exceed an account's quota, the message will be refused and an appropriate warning message will be placed in the user's mailbox. If a MultiPOP collection would exceed the account's maximum a similar warning is issued and the account's MultiPOP entries are automatically switched off (but not removed from the database).

Use the Warning email sent when this percent is reached option at "Accounts » Account Settings » Quotas" to cause a warning message to be sent when an account nears its quota limits. When the account exceeds a designated percentage value of either its Maximum number of messages stored at once or Maximum disk space allowed restriction, a warning message will be sent to the account at midnight. The message will list the account’s number of stored messages, the size of its mailbox, and the percent used and remaining. Further, if an existing warning is found in the account’s mailbox it will be replaced with an updated message. |
Maximum numbers of messages stored at once
Use this option to designate the maximum number of messages that can be stored for new accounts. Using "0" in the option means there will be no limit to the number of messages permitted.
Maximum disk space allowed (in megabytes)
Use this option to designate the maximum amount of disk space that new accounts can use, including any file attachments that may be stored in each new account's \Files\ folder. Using "0" in the option mean there will be no limit to the amount of disk space that the accounts can use.
Maximum messages sent per day
Use this option to designate the maximum number of messages that new accounts can send per day via SMTP. If an account reaches this limit then new mail from the account will be refused until the counter is reset at midnight. Use "0" in the option if you do not wish to limit the number of messages an account can send.
