What to do when your quota is filled up

If you reach any of the limits set for your account, you are not able to receive new messages.

Once you reach 90% of a quota, a warning message is displayed in the top bar of Kerio Connect Client.

To solve this problem, we recommend the following:

• Delete any unneeded messages in the Sent and Trash folders.
• Delete any other messages you do not need, especially ones with large attachments.
• Ask your administrator to turn on automatic items clean-out. This automatically deletes old messages and messages from the trash).
• Ask your administrator to add some space for your account.
