In my company people do the same, we have a few people around 800 Mb-1 Gb. What we do is copy emails to personal folders. That makes the emails being removed from the server and still be accessable for the person locally. I'd burn a DVD with those personal folders exporting a PST file for backup purposes.
Another techniques that we do: - save attachments and remove them from the emails, you can keep the email but save the attachment elsewhere. - archive by years following the same folder layout. That makes easier locating old emails and remove the ones that aren't needed. We have a bunch of more techniques, but those are the most important ones. Also an offline defrag helps to remove unnecessary space. I run one in a 70 Gb database and now is 20 Gb.
