Oversize Mailbox Utility

Background

You have most likely reached this page after receiving an email with the subject "Oversize Unix Mailbox". You received that email because the size of your network mailbox became too large. To reduce the size of your network mailbox, the oldest email was moved out of your network mailbox and into a separate file.

This program will allow you to restore that email back to your inbox. As some of the email may be unwanted (e.g. "spam"), you need only select the messages you wish to restore--the rest will be deleted automatically by the system in a week.

Once you have restored the desired email, you can use your normal email program (Eudora, MySJU, etc) to read it.

Instructions

Step 1. Select the emails in your Oversize Mailbox that you wish to restore.

Step 2. Fill in your login information. (The username is already supplied.)

Step 3. Click the "Restore Selected Messages" button to restore selected emails back to your Inbox. You can then retrieve them with your normal email program.

Step 4. After restoring the email you wish to keep, and you are left with only unwanted email, complete the process by clicking the "Delete All & Quit" button.

Step 5 (final step). Quit your browser to delete any sensitive information (e.g. login/password data).

 

To start the utility, click the start button.
