Each
Howard University email account has an assigned
space limit, the mailbox size. Your mailbox
space or size is automatically monitored. Your
mailbox space should be managed. Permanently
delete messages which are not needed. You will
receive a warning message from the System

size limit of your mailbox.

You
may exceed your mailbox size limit as the result
of a single large message or a message with
a large attachment containing graphics or as
the result of the accumulation of small messages
over a period of time.
