The fact that you created an empty mailbox does not mean a user can send large files/attachments. This is not controlled from the client.

Follow these steps to check if there are any limits imposed on the user account first, if your environment is configured to use Mailbox store defaults than you need to check with the Exchange admins what the organizational limit is set at.

To check if limits are placed in the user account follow these steps: This depends if the problem is experienced with just one user or all.

Either on the Exchange server or DC or any other server or workstation with the Exchange Server tools installed:

1. Find the user account or any user account in AD

2. Double click or open properties of user account

3. If the Exchange tools are installed you should see a tab called - Exchange General

4. Then click on Storage limits

5. If the use Mailbox Store Defaults are select this means the limit is set from the Exchange Server, now you can manually change this but I don’t think you want to do this. (see image)

6.

To check the limits on the Exchange server you need to:

1. Open Exchange System Manager

2. Find your mailbox stores or any store, right click on the store, select properties and click on the Limits tab.

3. WARNING: Be sure not to click the Dismount Store option, then you in deep trouble. L

If there are limits set I recommend you get permission before changing or granting a user larger file sending/receiving limits, as this can pose serious security risks for the entire organization.

Hope this helps….

Thanks I sorted it out by deleteing the nk2 files.

I have another issue with sending large e-mails E.g. 15 megbytes

I have created a new account with nothing in the mailbox and cannot send this file.

Please assist me here.

Thanks
