^1 . How can I save sent emails from webmail?

When sending from Webmail, sent messages are automatically saved to the folder Sent Items

^2 . How can I tell how much space I have left in my email?

To check your quota and used space, sign into webmail via Internet Explorer; this will give you a "premium" view which shows your folders in the left-hand pane. Simply hold your mouse over your name (or the shared account name) to see information about your quota usage.

After signing into webmail, follow these steps:

  • Click Options (upper right-hand corner)
  • Click Messaging (left hand column)
  • Find the Email Signature section
    • Check "Automatically include my signature on outgoing messages"
    • Check "Replace my current signature with the following:"
    • Enter your preferred signature.
  • Click Save (at the top of the settings page)
