InSIS Detailed Information

Since the days when Office 365 was not used, some user groups in InSIS have a higher mailbox capacity – system integrators, managers, teachers, doctoral students. When the last role is completed, everyone’s mailbox capacity is reduced to 48 MB.
When the mailbox in InSIS is full, the emails are rejected and the set mail forwarding does not work. The so-called system messages sent from InSIS are delivered even when the mailbox is full.
