Exchange Mailbox Policies:

Mailbox quota information:

NOTE: Mailbox size directly effects the performance of your e-mail client, especially in situations where you are retrieving e-mail from off campus. Below is information regarding your Exchange mailbox quota.

Deleted Items Management:

All items residing in your 'Deleted Items' folder, on the Exchange server, will be permanently purged 30 days after they have been relinquished to the 'Deleted Items' folder.

Maximum number of recipients:

NOTE: There are alternatives for users wishing to send mass mailings, including, List-Proc lists and third party vendors.

- The maximum number of recipients per message is:100 users.

Message Size:

NOTE: Message size greatly impacts the overall performance of the e-mail system. There is a noticeable delay in retrieving e-mail on your mail client when large attachments are received or sent, especially when doing so over slower connections. Please keep in mind that your recipient's mail service may not accept messages based on a different limit than we have provided.

- we have set the maximum message size, including attachment(s) to:25mb

Usupported Attachment Types:

NOTE: The following file type extensions are not supported when included in e-mail, as an attachment. The original message and any accompanying text will be delivered to the recipient, however, the attachment(s) will be replaced with text indicating that the original message contained an attachment, which is unsupported, and was removed. The contents of ZIP files, and other data compression file types, are scanned as well, and if they contain at least one prohibited file type, the entire compressed data file is removed and replaced with a text file explaining the action taken.

Outlook Web Access Timeout:

NOTE:This is the period of time which you will remain authenticated to our Exchange service, using Outlook Web Access (OWA), without activity. The timeout period depends on how you chose to log in to OWA. From the login page, you have two options as to how you can proceed:"PUBLIC or SHARED COMPUTER" or "PRIVATE COMPUTER" login types. Each is set differently and is designed to log you off in the event you have walked away from your computer and forgotten to log out. On public machines, this timeout period, is set very low, so that when you walk away from a public workstation, you do not inadvertently leave your e-mail session to Exchange open, allowing another individual to access your personal information. On a private workstation, the timeout value is set relatively high. This assumes that the workstation is in a fairly secure location and the chances of someone sitting down at an unattended session and gaining access to your personal information is low. It is recommended that no matter your intent, that you always log off any secure session prior to leaving your workstation. Below are the timeout values for OWA sessions.

After signing in at the login page, the default setting of "Public or Shared Computer", the session will timeout after an inactivity period of 15min.
After signing in at the login page and selecting "Private Computer", the session will timeout after an inactivity period of 7 hours.
