SINA Users Manager
Disk Management Tools Disk quota can be set at
group or individual level (or at school level in
SINA Options).
Quota can be enforced as a hard setting or can
act as a notification amount (this can be
overridden to allow receipt of email from SINA
administrators or teachers in SINA Options).
11
SINA Users Manager
Active Disk Management Tools Tools are available
to reduce disk usage by individuals (replaces the
delete email function of previous versions).
12
SINA Users Manager
Disk Management Tools Email messages are removed
on the basis of a pre-determined algorithm which
allocates points to individual email messages
based on the folder they reside in, size, date
received, domain received from etc. In effect a
large email from a non-school address in the
trash folder will have a much higher rank than
one half the size from a school address in a
folder created by a user. The highest scoring
emails will be deleted in order until the user
account is below their quota.

• Disable email account
• Withdrawing a users email privileges will result
  in disabling of the account so that it cannot
  receive any email.
• When sent from within mymail with an invalid
  email address message is returned.
• When received from a third party email client the
  email will bounce with an unknown user message.
