Mailbox size query
Hi
We are running Exchange 2003 SP2 and Outlook 2003.
On one store, we have a mailbox size limit (send) of 100MB.
I have a user, whose mailbox is in that store, who is receiving messages that she cannot send email because her mailbox quota has been exceeded. Yet according to both Exchange ESM and Outlook, her Mailbox size is only 60MB.
Any ideas? No one else on the store is experiencing probs and the limits look fine/ have not been changes recently.
Cheers!

Have you checked if this user has a specific mailbox quota setup via AD?

I would also suggest moving the mailbox to a different stoire, this would generally happen because of the store cache

Cheers guys - I'll give moving the mailbox from one store to another a go...
Out of interest, why would this help and what is the "store cache"?

Hi
Moving the mailbox to a different store and then back again worked...thanks!
So - the Mailbox Store Cache - that effectively holds the permissions (e.g someone cannot send mail when their mbx is over limit)? This seemed to get 'stuck' in this case?

Glad my solution helped.
Any points?
