Do you have storage quota's set?

Hi, You can use this command in Exchange Management Shell to set whatever size you want, but not more than2097151 MB, which is almost 2048GB. Set-Mailbox YourMBxEmailID -ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 5GB You can also set this in Exch Management Console by going to mailbox properties->Mailbox Settings->Storage Quota Settings.

Hi,If it is a Exchange 2007 server, then we can modify the settings on storage limitation on per mailbox or on database level. Detail steps you can refer to the article below:Interpreting Status of Storage Quotas via Exchange Management Shell http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/09/20/428965.aspxf mailbox database settings are used as defaults, and the per-mailbox settings are set, the following would take effect in the table below: Issue Warning : 1,991,680,000 Bytes = 1.9GB Prohibit Send: 2,099,152,000 Bytes = 2GB Prohibit Send and Receive: 2,411,520,000 Bytes = 2.3GBNote: Database storage limitation:Storage quotas on the mailbox database Exchange Management Shell Active Directory IssueWarningQuota 400000 mDBStorageQuota 400000 ProhibitSendQuota 500000 mDBOverQuotaLimit 500000 ProhibitSendReceiveQuota 525000 mDBOverHardQuotaLimit 525000 UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults TRUE mDBUseDefaults TRUE If it is a Exchange 2003 based server, then you can follow the article below to modify the settings:You receive a "Specify a value from 0 through 2097151" error on Limits in Mailbox Store properties http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555559Regards,Xiu

It sounds like it's Exchange 2003, orearlier.You can use ADSIEDIT (or LDP, or VBS, etc.) to modify the valuesdirectly. The GUI won't handle more than 2GB. IIRC it treats the valueas a signed 32-bit integer so only 31 bits are available for use.---Rich MatheisenMCSE+I, Exchange MVP--- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

How much time it requires to to make effect from after changing the limit. I have done the setting but it is not reflecting immediately. Please guide

It can take up to two hours.-- Ed Crowley MVP"There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems.".

Hi, I think that for immediate application of the settings u have to restart the information store service on the mailbox server OR just wait for 2 hours as Ed has suggested. Regards,Laeeq Qazi|Team Lead(Exchange + Sharepoint + BES + DynamicsCRM) www.HostingController.com

Or implement this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327378 I've never heard of problems setting it to 15 minutes.-- Ed Crowley MVP"There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems.".
