Hello everyone,

We would like to start implementing quotas for our email account in exchange 2007. Playing with this, I was able to enter some quota restriction into my personal account. What it seems rare is that I set my self with a quota warning but I was able to still send and receive email. After a while I shut down my computer turn it back on open outlook 2010 and then I have a warning message that my mailbox was full. Then I remove the quota from my account and outlook was still saying that my mailbox was full and I was not able to send or received any email. I let it sit for a while cause I thought that the settings needs to be refresh from exchange to outlook. After an hour I was able to receive and send email, but the full mailbox message was still there in my outlook.
Finally I remove my account from outlook and recreated and that took the message away. I guess my question on this is that, if there is a way to force exchange to refresh the new settings into outlooks clients? Also is there another way to remove the mailbox full from outlook if is not removed after changes into exchange?

Thank you.
