By default, a user has unlimited mail quota. However, an administrator can set a limit for mail quota for a user in ldap (Light Directory Access Protocol) server. Mail quota limit can be set on the storage size or on the number of e-mails that can be stored. To set the mail quota, an administrator needs to access the user information in the ldap server and set the following parameters:

- mailMsgQuota - to set the storage limits in Mb.
- mailQuota - to set the limit based on the number of e-mails.

(The default value of both these parameters is -1 - means unlimited.)

To view mail quota information:

1. In the Mail tab, right-click Personal Folder.
2. Click View Mail Quota.

After the mail quota limit is reached:
- you can send e-mails, but the e-mail can not be saved to the Sent folder.
- you can not receive any more e-mails.

In this scenario, you need to delete unwanted e-mails saved in your default folders or any other folders you created.
Note: Whenever you delete an e-mail, it is moved to the Trash folder. So, after deleting the e-mails from any of the folders, you need to delete them from the Trash folder to avail extra space to save e-mails.

When you create a task and includes invitees to the task, you can check their availability. Based on the time duration that you specified, Convergence verifies whether the invitee is occupied with another event at the same time, and provides you the result.

To check the availability:

1. Type the e-mail id of the invitee.
2. Click Check Availability.

Four readers till date requested me to send some sample questions about SCJP. (That's the highest number of comments that I got for any of my blog entries. ) Unfortunately, I was a bit busy and could not contact them. (I will contact you guys through your e-mails soon.)

I have a suggestion for you, guys. Download NetBeans IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Its installation is very simple. Afterwards, try to compile the sample questions that you may get from various sources. This helps you to figure out which code does not compile, which one will compile but throws an exception at runtime, etc. If you are not using an IDE presently and you are using a text editor, this will be very helpful. You will also get experience in using an IDE.

Assume that you are importing a contact or contacts from Microsoft Outlook to Convergenve in Microsoft CSV format. If the contact contains a title as Dr. or Prof. or it contains a suffix as I, II, or III, after import, these values will be displayed as undefined. This happens, because the Convergence does not have corresponding fields.

If you wish to send an e-mail to many contacts or create a task that includes many contacts, create a group and add contacts to the group.

After you create the group, right-click the group and select the appropriate option.

Convergence allows you to send the transcription of your chat with another contact. You need to click the e-mail icon, that is highlighted in a red box, to send the transcription.

On June 30 th, I cleared SCJP 1.5 exam. That was the last day to use the free vouchers that I got from Sun. I got 79 %.
If you have a plan to write the exam , you can contact me. I will give you some sample questions.!!!

By default, allowdupentry in Convergence is set to true. It means you can create many contacts that has the same display name. However, you can set allowdupentry to false at the deployment level.

To set allowdupentry to false

1. Execute the following command:
/opt/SUNWiwc/sbin/iwcadmin -w password -o ab.pstore.allowdupentry -v false
2. Restart the Application Server.

After you set allowdupentry to false, if you try to create a contact with an existing display name, the following error message is displayed: "Save Contact failed."
