Hello all I would really appreciate some assistance from the Microsoft
Exchange community. I am seeking information on whether or not you have
implemented mailbox limits and/or retention policies at your company and if
so, what those policies are. At my current company we have allowed our users
to have no mailbox restrictions and have several mailboxes that are in
excess of 5 gigabytes or more. From an architectural/operational perspective
there has always been a full understanding that this is not anywhere near
desirable and in fact has a negative impact on performance etc. What I am
trying to do is gather information on what the industry is doing in respect
to mailbox limits and email retention so that we can put together an
effective business case with some data detailing industry trends. We have
already looked at positions from Gartner and Forrester but I believe that
there is more value in real world responses. I am particularly interested in
hearing from companies in the oil and gas space.



Thank you in advance for any assistance that is provided.
