So seems like I'm full of outlook problems today. In addition to the problem I was having (see separate thread if you can help) I'm having another problem with someone else's outlook. We have a customer service email address that customers can email. This is forwarded to a customer service rep in the office. We use verizon business webmail. The problem is any e-mail that is forwarded gets bounced back resulting in an over quota error. I checked the online console to make sure there were no e-mails stuck there (10mb limit, not that it matters because outlook downloads the emails and deletes them from the server). No e-mails were stuck. So immediately I thought it was the file size limit, being as the email address is old, created before 2003, when the file size was increased to 20gb. Well, I was right. She was using an old pst file with the file size limit at 2gb (i believe its 2gb, maybe 4, whatever... doesnt matter) - so I created a new pst for her and set that as the default delivery location. Still, same error. Over quota. What the hell is going on? I don't get it. It can't be over quota...

Edit: Here is the error:
(*'s replacing the IP for security reasons)
Will be doing some research on the diagnostic code: lmtp;550 5.2.2

quota's are set on the server side of things. Get with your admin or provider (since its webmail) and see if they can run maintenance on your account. Is the email stored locally on the client side or on a network share when it is downloaded?

Well, being that our network admin recently quit, that sorta makes me (as well as my colleague) the head 2 people. We're kinda splitting the work. The e-mail is stored on a network share when it's downloaded, which still has 116gb free so it's not the server that's full.

Edit: Problem Resolved, thanks for the help. Seems that deleted e-mail wasn't being deleted off the verizon server, which like I said, has a 10mb limit. I feel like a fool... don't rub it in.

Well, do you run some sort of enterprise level email server like exchange or is the service fully through verizon like you mentioned beforehand?

Even though the network share may have 100s of gigs free of space on it still, it could be the problem. If you have disk quotas for users, the user account that is assigned or logged in that is downloading the email could be past their quota. for example at my work everyone has a H drive which is their home directory for their own personal data on the network. If I look at the drive in windows explorer it could say that there is 200 gigs free space on that volume, but the user may be past their quota of allotted space they are allowed to take up on the network drive.
