Disc Quota in Keriomail

Do you know how much of your allotted 1GB of storage space you are currently using in Kerio? If you don’t, here is how you find out.

Click once on your e-mail address located in the folder tree on the left of the Kerio window. This will show you the “Today” page. In the bottom left hand section of the window you will see “Quota” listed. Under “Disc space” you will see a bar graph showing the percentage of space used. You will also see a number to the right of “Used” that tells you in MB how much space is currently in use.

When you reach your quota, you will no longer be able to receive any new e-mail. So it is a good idea to make sure you always have space available.

Here are some ideas for making more space available.

Anytime you send a message, a copy of the message (including the attachments) goes into your Sent Items folder. You may want to periodically delete old messages you’ve sent that you no longer need to reclaim some of your disc space.

Messages with attachments will take up more space than just a plain message. When looking though the list of messages in your Sent Items folder to delete, you might want to focus on messages with attachments first. These messages will have a red paper clip icon in the left portion of the list.

The Junk E-mail folder is where Kerio puts mail suspected to be spam. If you never clean out that folder you will be wasting space needlessly. You may want to look through the spam folder to ensure all the mail in the folder is really spam. If it is, the quick way to delete all of the mail in the spam folder is to hold down the control key on your keyboard and click on the Junk E-mail folder and choose Delete all from the pop-up menu.

Now that you’ve deleted some messages, you need to make sure you empty the Deleted Items folder. To do this, hold down the control key on your keyboard then click on the Deleted Items folder and choose Delete all from the pop-up menu. That will permanently delete all of the messages in your Deleted Items folder.
