8. Select the recipient you want to forward the e-mail to and then click OK.
The name you selected is displayed in the text box next to the Browse
button.
9. If you want the e-mail to be delivered to this user’s mailbox in addi-
tion to the forwarding address, select the Deliver Message to Both
Forwarding Address and Mailbox option.
If you leave this option deselected, only the forwarding address will
receive the e-mail — the mail won’t be delivered to this user’s mailbox.
10. Click OK, then click the next OK.
The first OK click returns you to the mailbox Properties dialog box, and
the second dismisses the dialog box.
Setting Mailbox Storage Limits
Exchange lets you set a limit on the size of each user’s mailbox. In a very
small organization, you can probably get away without imposing strict mail-
box size limits. But if your organization has 20 or more, you need to limit the
size of each user’s mailbox to prevent the Exchange private mail store from
getting out of hand.
Exchange provides three kinds of storage limits for user mailboxes:
✦ Issue warning at: When this limit is exceeded, an e-mail warning is sent
to the user to let them know that their mailbox is getting large.
✦ Prohibit send at: When this limit is reached, the user can’t send e-mail,
but the mailbox continues to receive e-mail. The user won’t be able to
send e-mails again until he or she deletes enough e-mails to reduce the
mailbox size below the limit.
✦ Prohibit send and receive at: When this limit is reached, the mailbox
shuts down and can neither send nor receive e-mails.
You can (and should) set a default storage limit that applies to all mailboxes
in your organization. You can also override these limits for specific users.
To configure the default storage limits for all mailboxes, follow these steps:
1. Choose Start➪Administrative Tools➪Microsoft Exchange Server
2010➪Exchange Management Console.
This fires up the Exchange Management Console. (Refer to Figure 2-1.)
2. In the Navigation pane, navigate to Microsoft Exchange➪Microsoft
Exchange On-Premises➪Organization Configuration➪Mailbox.
This displays the organization’s mailbox configuration, as shown in
Figure 2-13.
