Aren't you walking on thin ice by mandating a mass delete based on age? I would be massacred for that.   -----Original Message----- From: Abercrombie, Sherry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 1:55 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Mailbox size limits   I don't use quotas either.....not by my choice but because mgmt. won't let me.  I do however, use Mailbox Manager which runs every weekend and deletes anything older than 45 days.  Right now the largest mailbox I have is just over 200MB, at one time however, I had several that were getting close to the 1GB mark.  My CTO gently prodded them into cleaning them up.  Now those users aren't even in the top ten......   At one time the age in date was 60 days for MBM, but when we told mgmt that we would either have to reduce the size of our IS on Exchange, or upgrade to Enterprise edition, which was no longer available, because we were getting too close to the 16 GB limit on Exchange 5.5 standard, they changed it to 45 days and the memo came from the CEO.  No whining was heard....:)  One of the few times that ever happened.... -----Original Message----- From: Reto Inversini [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 1:39 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Mailbox size limits ... well, I don't use any quotas ... discspace is cheap and I don't like whining users ... but beware ... if you give them one finger they are going to take the whole hand :-) ... most users a reasonable and using between 5meg and say, 120meg ... but there are always a few, urmm, special cases ... until now the highscore is 400meg - and then they start complaining that outlook is sooo slow ...   /Reto   ----- Original Message ----- From: Precht, David To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 7:59 PM Subject: RE: Mailbox size limits   Last place with Exchange 175/200/225 Currently for client on Notes 50 Highest that I have seen 300 BUT someone has always b*tched and got theirs booted up, to get this, 1 gig !!!!!
