+=== E-mail Quotas ===
 
 There is a 1GB storage limit for every CAL e-mail account.  Your IMAP quota is visible from any IMAP client which supports the QUOTA capability (and most do).  It can also be seen from the [https://mail.astro.columbia.edu/ CAL webmail site].  To view your quota in [http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/ Thunderbird] 1.5, for example, select the inbox of your CAL account in the "Folders" pane, and choose `Edit|Folder Properties...` from the menu.  The `Quota` tab in the dialog box that appears shows your quota.
 
 It is important to keep in mind that you have a limited amount of space on your CAL email account to store email. As mail addressed to your account comes in, it is placed in your Inbox mailbox, and it will stay there indefinitely, until you move it to your personal computer or delete it. When the total amount of email you have in your Inbox exceeds your account's Inbox allotment, new incoming email will be bounced. (Returned to its sender.) Each account has a reasonably large allotment, but if you get a a few -- or even one -- email messages with large attachments, your Inbox can fill up pretty quickly. 
-You will receive a series of automated messages as the size of your Inbox approaches your Inbox quota.

+We will try to accomodate reasonable requests for quota extensions.  Requests for a moderate increase over the existing standard quota levels, along with a reasonable, clear explanation of the extenuating circumstances leading to the request will be prioritized.
