Mailbox quota warning interval messages
Hello, I have set mailbox quota on Exchange 2010 for IssueWarning and ProhibitSend. Warning Interval for database is currently set to default "Everyday at 1:00AM". Does this mean I will get a warning everyday after 1:00AM if my mailbox is approaching the limited size? TIATom

You would get the warning if the mailbox size has ereahed the IssueWarning value.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Thanks Ed. So say I got a warning notifier saying "Your mailbox is almost full". I didn't free up any space. Should I expect a repeated warning notifier the next day when the warning interval process run? Or is it one time notification? My setting is Microsoft default setting, Run every day at 1:00AM.

My recollection is that the message is sent every time the schedule fires it and there is no memory of it having been sent.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

I got one warning message saying Mailbox almost full. I haven't cleared the space yet and I have not received another notification indicating the mailbox size. Any suggestions, why the notifier stoped? ThanksTom

your mailbox would have crossed the full threshold limit. Outlook will Stop sending,Receiving any emails + NotificationsSatheshwaran Manoharan | Exchange 2003/2007/2010 | Blog:http://www.careexchange.in | Please mark it as an answer if it really helps you

Hi The warning message will send at a default time everyday when the mailbox size is reaching IssueWarningQuota, as you mentioned previously, it will send at 1:00AM every day, and this action will be repeated. Also as Satheshwaran mentioned, if the mailbox is Full, this action will stop. Cheers Zi FengZi Feng TechNet Community Support

Thanks. I have not hit the threshold for prohibit send yet, but is there to get the warning messages. I got one warning message and after no notifers. How could I troubleshoot this? TIATom

Find something interesting from Jeff @ http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/a5eb2d04-0b41-4e82-84cb-76157d6712d3 So my setup being at Exchange 2010 SP2, a warning message will be sent only once till the flag is reset. Also, as I am testing this I have enabled the issuewarning, prohibit send for my mailbox and not to the database. Now, how could I reset the flag to get another warning message? I didn't understand that part. Could somebody explian this further? TIATom

Hi For your Question, perhaps you could check the mailbox database property called -QuotaNotificationSchedule, in order to verify the sending time is correct or not. Get-MailboxDatabase -identity <DataBaseName> | Fl QuotaNotificationSchedule And for your test, I suggest using a new created mailbox, and send the some attachments to reach the issuewarningquota, then wait for the Message coming, because the old mailbox might be corrupted with some unknow reason. Also you could change the Sending time so as to receive warning earlier Set-MailboxDatabase -Identity "Database name" -QuotaNotificationSchedule"Mon.7:00-Mon.8:00","Wed.7:00-Wed.8:00" Cheers Zi Feng Zi Feng TechNet Community Support
