My guess is that the practicality of a 'size' rule is at least partially driven by when rules are applied. If the rules are being applied as the SMTP stream is coming in, there's no good way to apply a "size" rule. AFAIK, iMail has no way of knowing how big the message is until the end of the SMTP transmission.

If it's company policy to have a copy of all e-mails sent, create a rule that puts a copy all outgoing mail in a "filecopy" account. In fact, "copy all mail" is an option on the SMTP service in iMail 8, and would capture incoming as well as outgoing.

Or, amend policy so that people using Webmail have to put themselves in the BCC field.

That's why, when I planned our e-mail system, I did just that -- plan. After considering that I'd mostly have local users, with occaisional raod warriors and some who wanted to access their work mail from home, it became apparent that IMAP was the best method for delivering mail


Another advantage to IMAP is that it's often easier to repair a damaged .MBX file than it is a damaged .PST file.

Although I do have to admit that I don't know how good an IMAP client Outlook is. Part of my plan included banning outlook from the network. For the few people who needed calendars, we found inexpensive alternatives.
