Its hard for me to believe that users have 1gb or in your case 2gb mailboxes. To me thats not very organized. Unless they are a CEO or some VIP type position, they shouldnt have large mailboxes. I also understand that people want to keep messages for CYA, but that shouldnt include attachments in messages.
I was getting tired of seeing my store grow 3gb a month for the last year. I now have a 60gb priv and a 50gb pub. So take my opinion with the grain of salt..
My company does not enforce an mailbox limit at this time.

Hello,
Our 2 principles in our company, now have mailboxes that are over 2 Gigs in size EACH.
Is it irresponsible of me, to let this go on? I mean, the likelihood of a crash, and dealing with these singularly gargantuan mail files - should I maybe create different (or additional) message stores, rather than folders - in order to categorize their e-mail? Then just give them access to the stores, so they all appear inside their Outlook - which will allow them to grow larger separately (using rules, etc. to stick particular types of e-mails into the proper folders).
OR is this not a big deal, because Exchange handles the mail store so well (knock on wood).
I would love to hear your input regarding the topic. 2 Gigs seems excessive - AND another thing I can no longer run is EXMERGE - because you can't break the 2 Gig .PST barrier.
That's another thing I always liked doing, for nice clean archives - is running EXMERGE and generating individual .PST files for each of our users mailboxes. It's cool, because if a user ever wanted to get up and running IMMEDIATELY (after a crash), I could simply copy their latest .PST file to their local machine, and they can at least get most of their mail, while I am busy restoring the server.
Thanks for your input,
Mike
