Exchange mailbox quota for MBA and MAcc students is 10GB.
When your provided mailbox space becomes nearly full, you will receive an email warning letting you know that you are near quota. When your mailbox reaches or exceeds its quota, you will continue to be able to receive incoming email, but you will no longer be able to send mail.
You will need to delete old emails or archive old items to free up space. If you delete old items, make sure to empty the Deleted Items folder. As soon as your mailbox size drops below the quota limit, you will be able to send again. Click here for instructions on how to archive old emails.
If you prefer a more personalized email address, you can request new email alias. Please note that you can only create up to three vanity mail aliases total. You will not have the ability to delete or modify them after you have created them. You will have to use only these three throughout your Rice career.
