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.

Java DB is Sun supported distribution of Apache Derby. It is an open source database. Portal Server uses Java DB as a database for functionality, such as Wiki, File Sharing, Community, and so on. You can also connect to Java DB using NetBeans as an IDE. In NetBeans, you need to provide the location of the Java DB and the location where you wish to create the database.

You can develop a portlet using the Portal Pack which is a plug-in with NetBeans. Refer to http://portalpack.netbeans.org/

Portlets are web applications that can be deployed on Portal Server. JSR 168 compliance ensures that portlets can be deployed on any Portal Server technologies irrespective of the vendor which provides the technology. A portlet will have three modes – Help, Edit, and View. Based on the access privileges of the user, the administrator can provide a user with a specific mode.

Sun Java System Portal Server is a component of Sun Java Enterprise System. Portal Serer is primarily used for content collaboration. The administrator can provide content and applications to users based on their roles.
