ARCHIVED: At IU, can I request a quota increase for my Outlook or Exchange email account?

Note: Default storage for Exchange accounts at Indiana University is 500 MB. For information on managing your usage of Exchange server resources, see About your storage space on the Exchange server

At Indiana University, UITS strongly recommends that you delete messages from your mailbox, particularly from your Sent Items and Deleted Items folders. Purging unwanted or non-essential messages from your mailbox will often free up a significant amount of space and make a quota increase unnecessary. For more information on deleting messages from your mailbox, see the document referenced above.

You may also store messages, forms, and files in personal folders on your computer's hard disk; see In Microsoft Outlook, what are personal folder files, and how do I create them?

In some cases, if your needs are unusual, it may be possible to make special arrangements for additional space; see What is the default storage space for various UITS accounts, and how do I request an increase?
