Quota on E-Mail accounts

There is limited mailbox space on the ZIM’s mailbox servers. Mails that exceed this space can not be delivered.

Mailbox Size

  • Students whose mailbox exists since 01-08-2018 have a quota of 1GB.
    Students whose mailbox was created earlier than that have less space but can increase it themselves via the Selfcare-Portal.
  • Employees have a quota of 2GB
    If needed you can increase it yourself to 4GB via the Selfcare-Portal.

Over Quota

  • For the mailbox server “mailbox”:

    If your mailbox is about to reach maximum capacity (mail quota), you will receive an e-mail. Should your quota reach 90%, you will get multiple warning e-mails. If you exceed 95% you will be notified daily. As soon as you delete mails and make space the notifications will stop.
    You can check your Mail-Quota via Webmail-Interface or via  Selfcareportal.

  • For the Groupware server “Exchange”:

    As soon as you exceed your mail quota you will get an e-mail notification.

    You can check your Mail-Quota via Outlook, OWA or Selfcareportal. You can find  Informationen about checking your quota in our FAQ.
