XADM: Cannot Edit Messages After Exceeding Storage Limit
Article ID: 174163

APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q174163
SYMPTOMS
If you exceed the storage limit set in the Exchange Administrator program
for users, and the Prohibit Send and Receive option is set on the Exchange
Server computer, you will not be able to edit any messages. Only deletion
of messages is permitted. If you receive a large message that causes your
mailbox to exceed the storage limit at once, and you are in the process of
editing a message, you will be unable to save the message you are working
on. If you open the large message that caused your mailbox limit to be
exceeded, you will also be unable to save any edits to that message or
delete any attachments that may be contained.
CAUSE
This is by design.
WORKAROUND
Permanently delete the large message or a few other smaller messages to
bring your mailbox below the allotted limits for storage.
