This will send the message to your “Deleted Items” folder (trash can icon).

What is the myUSI mail quota?

Aug 15th

The myUSI email quota is 10 Gigabytes (10 GB) of space across all of your email folders.

Moving messages into a folder still counts against your overall quota. This includes moving mail into your Deleted and Sent folders.

Once you reach your quota, you won’t be able to receive email anymore and anyone sending you an email message will get bounce back error messages explaining that your mailbox is full.

If you are over quota, you can free up space by deleted messages that you no longer need from any of the folders in your email. If you need copies for future reference, you might consider forwarding them to another account or printing them off before removing them.
