Plesk 8.2 Quota for domain vs quota for mailbox

F

Hello,

In Plesk I can setup for domains, quota dor the Harddisk and quota for mailboxes...

Does it mean I can have a domain that has 10GB of quota and setup mail quotas to 2GB? What if the domain has more than 5 users? for example 10? will my Hard disk quota impose its limit? or are those limits independent?

Regards,

Hi,

The limits are redistributed. For example you have a client who has the limit of 10Gb, so you can add one domain with the limit of 10GB, or 5 domains by 2Gb.
Then, if you have the domain with 2Gb you can add one mailbox of 2GB or 2 of 1GB etc..
Hope it's clear enough. :)
 
Julia,

I think you are wrong...
I created a domain with a hardisk limit of 2MB.
Then I set the mailbox quota to 4MB...

I sent two e-mails of 3 MB, both were received, but after the second one, I received an e-mail stating that my quota exceded, then I tried to send a 3MB to another e-mail account of this domain and it worked.

So the Harddisk limit is for the webpages you can post....
The mailbox is accounted differently...

I tested and it worked like that...

Please Plesk gurus, correct me if I'm wrong... but here it worked...

Regards,

That is my very disappointing experience, as well. I don't want to set individual mailbox quotas, but I want all of the accounts for one domain to use not more than a total of xMB. According to the help guide, the domain disk limit included mail, but that is not the case. For testing purposes, I created an account with a 1mb limit, which owns a domain with a 1mb limit, and a mailbox with no quota. The mailbox will accept any number of >1mb attachments.
