These systems were designed for and are dedicated to this service. With over 100 different clients available it is impossible to test them all in every possible combination. Given this members of the Computing Division have been evaluating a few clients on each of the supported platforms. By default all accounts are created with a 40 Mb quota. While this may seem like a large amount it would only take a couple of large attachments to surpass this amount.
Usage is checked nightly and quotas can be raised by request.
If you exceed your quota anyone attempting to send you mail will get a message that you cannot receive mail at that time. You will also receive a message that you have exceeded your quota. Some of the information in your account can be customized. A few problems has been reported with certain clients. Check the problem page before reporting any unusual behavior that you may be experiencing with your IMAP client.
