- 
-The new quota is split in this way: 
- 
-  * **5Gb** for all folders (//**Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash,**// etc), to check this first quota please see the section [[#Show quota information]];​ 
-  * other **20Gb** in the //​**Archives**//​ folder. 
- 
-//​**Archives**//​ is a special folder: ​ 
-  * you cannot copy e-mail messages directly in this folder, 
-  * but you have to create one or more sub folders. To make this operation easier, **every year a new sub folder will be created with the name of the year**. For example, for this year a sub folder named **//​2013//​** has been created.

-If before August 2013 e-mailboxes migration a user already had a folder named //​Archives//​ containing some e-mail messages, those messages have been moved in a sub folder called //​old_archives//​.
