Automatic Purge of Deleted Email

Messages that have been in the Deleted Items folder for more than 30 days will be removed from the email system.

When you delete an email, it resides in your Deleted Items folder until you empty your folder manually. (You may configure your email application to empty deleted items upon exit.) ITS will now purge messages that have been in this folder for 30 days on a continual basis.

• The email purge date is based on when the email was deleted, not the original email date.

Quotas

In 2013, BC will implement an email quota that applies to email, calendaring, attachments, and any other information you store in Exchange.

At the time of this change, quota sizes will be customized for each person, and determined based on current mailbox size. Faculty and staff will retain 140% of their current mailbox size. Individuals with less than 1.5GB of current storage, will have a quota of 2GB.

After this change, all new employees will have a quota of 2GB.
