We have at least 1 muckety-muck that does this. Since we’re on Groupwise, each Post Office has it’s own settings, and he had his own on top of that. Unfortunately he got xferred to a new area, and when we move his email, the new policy wiped out all that email.
Unfortunately for us, “bummer” was an unacceptable answer, as was any kind of lecture. Took a couple days to get the whole PO restored, stuff merged, etc. Glad it wasn’t my problem.

I always ask if they keep important items at home in the bin? From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 24 February 2010 4:09 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Stupid user tricks! Yes… several of my users like to use the “deleted items” folder to store email they don’t want right now, but *might* want later… And then they wonder why their mail folders get so full!

Be like one user I had. He used the trash and the deleted items folder to store mail and files for future reference. He had an aneurism when a person responded to an out of space call and cleaned up! >J From: Jacob [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 9:52 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Stupid user tricks! Email should never be used for transfer for large file... just storage of large files. ;-) From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 7:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Stupid user tricks! I just had to talk to a user who’d tried to send himself two messages with 13 megs of attachments on each email. And he was wondering why his POP email was timing out! GAH! Stupid Users‼ Email is NOT designed for transferring files‼ </RANT> Sorry… had to get that off my chest!
