Charges for Stored Email in Excess of 100 MB to Start with New Fiscal Year

Monthly fees for central storage of IMAP email, announced earlier this year but postponed to allow employees to delete unwanted messages, will begin with the start of fiscal year 2001, with actual charging beginning Sept. 28. The Computing Infrastructure Support Department has also reduced the amount to be charged, from the initial $2 per megabyte to $1.75 per megabyte over the 100 megabytes allocated to each IMAP user at no charge. For the past few months, CIS has been sending out sample bills to all employees who exceed 80 MB of stored mail. Business managers have also received summaries of all these employees in the divisions they support.

Employees can reduce their stored mail by regularly reviewing which messages need to be saved on the IMAP4 server and which can be deleted -- and empty your trash frequently (even messages in the trash count as stored mail).
