You will know your mail quota has been exceeded when you receive a message with the subject "Warning -- QUOTA EXCEEDED".

To disable this function, do the following:

In Outlook, click on Tools menu -> Accounts -> go to Mail tab -> double-click on your mail account (which has exceeded quota) -> go to Advanced tab -> in Delivery section, untick (leave the box empty) for "Leave a copy of messages on server" -> click OK -> click Close.
