Figure 1: Using the ACCC Quota, Download, and Delete Tool for icarus and tigger

The Quota, Download, and Delete tool works the same for accounts on icarus and tigger. The "Maximum allowed size in Inbox" item gives your soft and hard Inbox quotas (see "Quotas: The Not So Simple Answer") and "Maximum Allowed Disk Storage" gives your hard and soft disk quotas (see "Quotas on icarus and tigger").

If you only use POP, the "Combined size of remaining email folders" should be zero, because you won't have any "other mail folders" -- mailboxes -- on the server. If you use IMAP (including WebMail or pine), your IMAP mailboxes -- the mailboxes that you keep on the server -- other than your Inbox are kept in your regular online disk storage and the space they take up applies to your disk quota. That's the "Combined size of remaining email folders." The space taken up by your personal Web pages and all your other files on icarus or tigger also apply to your disk quotas. Your IMAP mailboxes and all your other files are included in "Current home directory usage."

When you're having problems with your Inbox quota, click breakdown by message in the "Current Inbox Mailbox Size" row for a list of the largest messages in your Inbox.

Click here to view your ten largest email messages (any mailbox) might be useful when you're having disk quota problems.

Use the download inbox, delete inbox, and breakdown/download/delete individual folders links to download and/or delete entire mailboxes. See the links in "How to delete mail and what to do if the short answers don't work" on page 7 for instructions on how to delete individual messages.
