How to Check your exchange mailbox free space and avoid fake spam emails regarding your mailbox.
Regarding hosted exchange provided mailboxes, all folders within that mailbox count towards the account quota.
If the user is frequently reaching their quota we recommend keeping the Deleted Items folder empty ("emptying the trash") or locally archiving folders to a new PST folder.
There are a number of official ways to check the storage size of your hosted exchange mailbox.
