We're using Outlook 2003 with Exchange. I want to know what my mailbox quota size is. (Yes, I realize I can ask the systems guys, but assume that's not feasible here.) Is there any way within Outlook to find out what my mailbox limit is? I know how big it is (Mailbox > Properties > Folder Size), I just want to know what the quota is.
And no, I'm not going to fill it up with crap until I get an email telling me what the quota is. ;-) I'm looking for a mechanism within Outlook to just see the actual data. Thanks.

See this article : "Relating Mailbox sizes to Mailbox quotas".
The basic answer is that you'll need to run a script to find out the quota.
The above article points to this other article that you shouldn't miss:
How to programmatically get the size of mailboxes in Exchange.
It contains several scripts to do that using different technologies.
If you are using MS Outlook 2010, you can select File -> Info. Mailbox Cleanup section shows the size limit and free space left.
