This is the maximum size of the entire email which includes message headers, text, and attachments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inbox Folder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The @nmu.edu email is initially stored in the inbox. The inbox&nbsp;is exempt from the 1GB storage limit imposed on the users &#8220;home&#8221; storage. However, there is a retention policy that items may stay in the user&#8217;s inbox&nbsp;for a maximum of 21 days.&nbsp;Any to be saved more than&nbsp;21 days must be moved from the inbox&nbsp;to another folder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Email Forwarding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email forwarding allows email designated for the @nmu.edu address to be directed to a different campus email address.

Web based email software&nbsp;(SquirrelMail, Roundcube) keeps these email folders within the user&#8217;s alloted storage space. There is no default retention period on these folders, but the user can create their own retention period for these folders at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/myuser.nmu.edu\/user\">https:\/\/myuser.nmu.edu\/user<\/a>&nbsp;(Options, E-Mail Folder Cleanup). Otherwise, the mail will remain in these folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn how to use and create folders for&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/it.nmu.edu\/docs\/using-squirrelmail-webmail#Folders\">SquirrelMail<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/it.nmu.edu\/docs\/using-roundcube-webmail\">Roundcube<\/a>, visit the respective link.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trash Folders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When an email program is told to delete a piece of mail, the mail is often moved to a &#8220;Trash&#8221; folder. Different software may give different names to the &#8220;Trash&#8221; folder. The folder names of &#8220;Trash&#8221;, &#8220;Deleted&#8221;, and &#8220;Deleted Messages&#8221; are reserved\/recognized as Trash folders for @nmu.edu users. Items in @nmu.edu trash folders will be kept for 42 days before they are permanently deleted.&nbsp;The user may set an alternative retention period for these folders at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/myuser.nmu.edu\/user\">https:\/\/myuser.nmu.edu\/user<\/a>&nbsp;(Options, E-Mail Folder Cleanup). The maximum retention period for Trash folders is 90 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anti-Virus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All incoming @nmu.edu email is scanned for virus attachments before being stored in the users INBOX. Any email containing a virus is discarded and is not delivered to the users INBOX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SPAM Filtering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All @nmu.edu incoming email&nbsp;is processed by spam filtering software before being stored in the users INBOX. The user may adjust the aggressiveness of this software at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/myuser.nmu.edu\/user\">https:\/\/myuser.nmu.edu\/user<\/a>&nbsp;(Options, SPAM Filtering). Both Outlook and the web based SquirrelMail (http:\/\/webmail.nmu.edu\/sqmail) software allows for finer control of the spam filtering rules.&nbsp;Visit the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/it.nmu.edu\/docs\/controlling-email-spam\">Controlling Email Spam<\/a>&nbsp;page&nbsp;to learn more about filtering spam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vacation Email<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">@nmu.edu users may create an auto-reply message to alert senders that they will be unavailable for a number of days and may not get sent mail.
