The Office of Information Technologies (OIT) has increased UMail quotas for the campus community. Faculty and staff now have 2 GB of storage, graduate students have 1 GB, and undergraduates have 500 MB. Quotas for subsidiary and NENS (non-employee, non-student) accounts were also increased to 1 GB.
This announcement comes as OIT completes significant improvements to the infrastructure that supports UMail, the campus e-mail system. In addition to increased storage capacity, UMail can now accommodate attachments up to 50 MB.
OIT anticipates that these improvements will mean less time students, instructors and staff spend managing their e-mail.
