Please note that the capacity of mail servers is limited. When the mail server becomes 95%
full, the system will automatically delete the mails that are older than 150 days and those
mails that contain .exe, .mov, .avi, .jpg, .mp3 and other pictures.
It is strictly forbidden to store mails, which contain .exe file, movie or pictures, partly
because it is not part of the academic work and because it overloads the system.
