I check weekly for any PC that is not backed up. I set the auto-archive
option in Outlook to run quietly, so it should prevent the 2GB limit
from being reached.
I've thought about having my users use IMAP and that a lot of space
would be required. What is your current IMAP server's specs?

I am facing the opposite situation - I am in a corporate environment,
and having that much email on a users local PC, that is not backed up or
lost if the PC crashes. At least with the IMAP accounts, I can backup it
up.

I don't know of any hard limits, but I had the same observation
running IMAP on a large account. It does help to break the mail up
into a number of folders because each folder has its own file.
Having said that, the main issue for me is a security concern -
keeping that much material on a publicly accessible server. That's the
main reason I switched back to POP myself after several years using IMAP.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Imail mail box size limit
Hi Imail fans,
I have a couple of IMAP mailboxes that are 2.1Gb in size (yes I know
way to big), some of my users are using Outlook express to access
there imap account (on a local LAN), and OE is starting to have an
issue reading the BIG mailbox.
I am in the process of pruning / deleting / moving messages from that
mail box, But does OE or IMAP have a mailbox size limit that it can
work with.
Im running Imail 8.22 on a W2k server formated with NTFS
Thanks
