We are the same, however we have a lot of emails from the past.
We are also thinking of dropping email. Too many of our help
desk calls are email.

we stopped offering it unless someone really bugs us about it.
Just tell them to get a gmail or yahoo account or host their own
domain...time to move past 1998.
one less thing to deal with :-)

Today, more than half of me says to get rid of email. We
currently offer it, have a low take rate, and those that take it
don't use it.

3 gig total, more can be purchased. Just what comes with it,
it’s a combined across all mailboxes, so no its not store
everything forever. Spam control is the same system we use, just
like any system, works great most of the time, lets some things
though and in spurts just like anything else.

WE do 1000 mailboxes 3 gig of storage, your own management
interface to add, change etc, plus filtering for 79.99 a month.
That would be .08 per mailbox..
