Some methods only show current usage. The default Quota is 23 GB

2. Right-click anywhere on the bottom Outlook bar.
3. Click on the first option Quota Information and you will see that it switches to the "On" mode.
4. You can now see the amount of free space left and the number of items you have in each folder, in the bottom left hand corner of the Outlook bar.
