Did a search, nothing came up, and have never seen this on here before

can increase your account quotas (meaning your K: drive space, your webmail space, or your Novell space)

Apparently all accounts start with 150 MB out of 300 MB being used...and you can allocate the other 150 as you see fit. I had no idea I had 150 MB sitting around for free that I wasn't using.

oh well, just trying to help out, because I sure know I haven't heard anything about it before

sysnews is used just about anytime someone bitches about the network on campus to show them why

I use Sysnews to do User lookups on people.

and you're a senior in engineering?

^well, they never publicly announced that quota increase, so it's understandable.

i only knew about it because i have friends who work at the help desk who informed me when they finally gave people that extra space

^ They did publicly announce the quota. I remember getting an e-mail about it.

1/25/2006 2:01:30 PM

really? maybe they didn't send it to everyone in the university. i mean, i pay attention to my email, and i know i didn't get any notification about it :shrug:

1/25/2006 2:23:37 PM

Well, I didn't know about this...

But now that I do...

I don't have to wipe out all those old e-mails now.

on top of the email here is the news release

I have already almost used up my extra space too

If you're on a Windows machine, look at IMAPsize. Nice program that allows you to pull the attachments off e-mails.

Ran across this looking for a program to backup IMAP locally (for those over quota). Have already used it on my own account once.
