Inbox and Attachment Size Limits

What is the size restriction for email attachments in Groupwise?  Is it possible to increase that?

Groupwise currently has a 50MBs limit on the size of an incoming email message. Groupwise has no restrictions on the size of outgoing messages.

If I reach my quota what happens to incoming messages?

Even if you surpass your quota, messages will continue to be accepted into your inbox, that is, you will not lose any mail.  What you will not be able to do is send messages until you get below your quota by deleting messages or moving them to a local folder.

I travel often and am not able to read/manage my mail for sometimes weeks at a time, what happens to messages if during that period my inbox fills up past my quota?

If you surpass your quota, messages will continue to be accepted into your inbox until you are able to manage your messages.

Can I copy old e-mail messages from the Groupwise server into local folders so that I can get back under my quota?

Groupwise calls the local folder storage the Archive.   See the OIT help for Archiving old e-mail.

Can I back up my messages?

You can only backup your Archive (see above for information on creating the archive and finding the location of your Archive).  You can keep your Archive on your H: drive and it will be backed up nightly by Engineering Network Services.
