!!! tip "How are quotas useful?"
Without quota limits for disk storage, a mailbox could fill up the available storage which would cause delivery failures to all mailboxes.
Quotas help by preventing that abuse, so that only a mailbox exceeding the assigned quota experiences a delivery failure instead of negatively impacting others (_provided disk space is available_).
