I'd say... LOL Most organizations do not allow archiving in the traditional sense... to a PST (either stored on the user's PC, or a network share). Many are moving forward with enterprise archiving products that will archive for you. For the rest of us, the norm seems to be mailbox limits (for example 500MB) and force the users to do their own cleaning when they hit these limits. You should definitely have mailbox limits in place though, as storage is not infinite. HTH

Additionally, you can create more top-level folders or create sub-folders underneath the Inbox and Sent Items folders. When you do this, the costs that are associated with index creation will be greatly reduced if the number of items in any one folder does not exceed 5,000. ________________________________ From: Christopher J.

I haven't really noticed a performance degrade with my system, but I wanted to see if anyone here enforces a size or message count limit. My current inbox count: Christopher J.
