However, where do you want to spend your dollars? Buying more disk? Or employee productive in not having to worry about it? These days, I'd suggest that buying more disk is often more cost effective. Not always, but often. You will always have egregious offenders that have to be reined in. (Heh. I just noticed: rained, reined, reigned. It's the simple things in life that make me smile.)

If I have a document I need to send to someone, fine, e-mail it. But if it's a video, or something of that nature, there are better ways to share that information. We're not factory workers here, we're office workers. Some of which have a rather high daily e-mail usage, with e-mailing contract changes back and forth all day, and having to keep all versions until a point is agreed on. They still don't have more than 200 MB.

There are better places for file transfer and storage. But I don't think a 6GB mailbox is unreasonable at all though. An archiving solution may be beneficial in that case, but as for size consideration, 6GB is not that much anymore for long term positions of high email use. 150MB is fine for the factory worker, but less so for the sales manager or accounting executive. Every customer/company/client is different. What are the relative costs of using alternative storage or transfer mechanism? Are they less costly than the fixed investment in Exchange?
