What is my quota and how do I check my disk usage?

Your quota is the amount of disk space that you are allowed to use to store your mail, contacts and calendaring. The current base quota for accounts is 250 MB . As you approach this disk quota and are using over 92% of your disk quota, you will receive a message once a day warning you that you are nearing your disk quota. Since these message are sent only once a day, it is possible that you can go over quota and not receive a warning message if you received a great deal of mail in that one day. If you need additional disk space, please see your LSP or account administrator. Your LSP or account administrator can increase your disk quota at any time but there is an additional cost for this extra disk space.

Zimbra users can use the web application, Zimbra Account Services, to see their current quota and how much disk space is currently used:

Disk Usage 140.1 MB
Billable Disk Quota 250 MB


You can also see your current disk usage from the Zimbra Web Client (ZWC). In the upper left-hand corner of the screen, you should see your display name with a colored bar underneath it. This colored bar indicates what percentage of your current disk quota is in use. This bar is usually green but will turn yellow if your disk usage exceeds 66% of your total disk quota. If you mouseover the bar and hold it there, you will get a pop-up window that will show your exact disk usage. For example:

Quota: 62% (615.9 MB of 1000 MB)
