It sounds like mail quota is set by the Exchange admin is causing the problem, if you are unable to increase space you will need to delete some of your items you do not need in your inbox, Outbox, Sent items etc. ocdOz Casey, Dedeal MCITP (EMA), MCITP (EA), MCITP (SA) Visit smtp25.blogspot.com Visit Telnet25.wordpress.com This posting is provided AS-IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

Hi It is outlook 2010 design problem. Please go to http://www.microsoft.com/officeupdatecenter and download and install the June Cumulative Update for Outlook 2010. Then your outlook file reaches quota, the Mailbox cleanup wizard will appear. Direct link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2544027 If you don’t like this way, you can turn on quota in outlook 2010.

Hi Richard, As mentionned by Casey, Terence and Ricky, I think it's mail quota. But instead of deleting old mail (that you sometimes need)I suggest you to think of your archive policy. You can set on outlook AutoArchive in a .pst file or make your own archive by creating .pst file. Hope this will help.

thx 2 all...;)...specially terence...;)
