Check if Outlook mailbox quota exceeded

I have the below code which checks if Microsoft Outlook is open before a user can continue in a process. The issue I am having is we have a really small mailbox size/quota so often we end up with our mailbox full meaning we can no longer send e-mails.

Is there a way that I can add anything to my code to check if the quota is exceeded and if so, prevent the user from continuing as currently they can still proceed but the e-mail doesn't get sent?

Thanks in advance.

VBA Code:
Dim oOutlook As Object

    On Error Resume Next
    Set oOutlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
    On Error GoTo 0

    If oOutlook Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Please open Microsoft Outlook (e-mail application) and then try again." & vbCr & _
            "" & vbCr & _
            "NOTE: Your mailbox must be capable of sending an e-mail" & vbCr & _
            "             i.e. not be full beyond your quota." & vbCr & _
            "" & vbCr & _
            "             If outlook cannot send e-mails then your actions" & vbCr & _
            "             on this system will not be completed correctly!", vbCritical
    
        Exit Sub
        Else
    End If
