Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:

-
The storage quota for the mailbox of user B is larger than the default storage quota.
-
User A logs on to user B’s mailbox.
-
After user A lets the mailbox sit idle for some time, user A then tries to send or forward an email message.
Note The time is longer than the Reread Logon Quotas Interval value.
In this scenario, user A may receive the following error message unexpectedly:
