Email Quota and Purging Policy

Electronic Mail Quotas

As a user of the JCU Email system you should be aware of the quotas imposed. Quotas are set at:
25GB for staff
10GB for students

Email documentation is available on the Library and Computing information site.

Please note that the quota is related to your aggregate use of Email including your Inbox, Junk Mail, Trash and other stored folders on the central server.

Electronic Mail Purging

Disk space on the central mail servers is a finite resource. Email messages on the central systems that remain in users Inbox, Junk Mail and Trash folders use valuable disk space.

While many users of the systems are diligent about their use of electronic mail, there are others who have not cleared messages from their Inbox, Junk Mail or Trash folders for quite some time.

Electronic Mail Retention and Disposal

The policy on rentention and diposal of email post expiration of employment, in the case of staff or cessation of enrolment, in the case of students is described in the document Information about your Central ITR Account.
