Outlook 2019
Exchange 2016

My Outlook is not displaying the Quota settings in the lower right corner of Outlook when viewing my primary mailbox. However if I select my Archive mailbox I can see the quota settings/limits.

I have confirmed that the "Quota Information (off)" is unchecked and I have also updated the registry key "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\StatusBar\QuotaThermometer" is set to 1.

The funny thing is both my Primary and Archive mailboxes are both in the same Exch DB, thought this could be a DB setting (old Exch 2010 server had separate DBs) so that is not the case. This is the same result for mailboxes still on our old Exch2010 server.

I also read that the "Limit - Prohibit Send & Receive" needs to be set for the quota to be displayed but even after setting that on my Primary mailbox there is no change (waited 30+min after closing Outlook).

What am I missing?

    Hi @S A

    According to your description, do you mean when selecting the primary mailbox, Outlook doesn't show Quota Information in Status Bar?

    If this describes your situation, could you have a check to see if you are choosing a folder rather than the root mailbox when viewing the quota information? As based on my test, for the primary mailbox, the quota information only shows when a folder is selected:

    Besides, as regards to the "Quota Information" setting, please check if it's the same as the screenshot below:

    In case the issue remains, it's suggested to run the command below for one of the affected users, then share the output here for further analysis after removing any personal information involved: 

    Get-Mailbox <identity> | fl IssueWarningQuota,ProhibitSendQuota,ProhibitSendReceiveQuota,UseDatabaseQuotaDefaults,database   
Get-MailboxDatabase <db name>|fl IssueWarningQuota,ProhibitSendQuota,ProhibitSendReceiveQuota
