All users of the WSC email system are allocated 50GB of space for their mailbox. Faculty or staff may request an archive if they need additional space. Archives are not available to students.
The maximum email message size that can be sent or received is 140MB, including the size of any attachment(s).
The maximum number of recipients you can send to at one time is 500. If you need to send to more than that, place them in a group in your addressbook.
Inbox rules that forward email to an external email system are not allowed for security reasons.
For security reasons, IMAP4 and POP3 access to mailboxes is disabled by default. If you need to use these protocols you can request access through the Campus Service Center at 402-375-7107 or email [email protected].
