I started reaching the 16GB limits of my home Exchange server. And it's
just the four of us at my house. ;-)

 

I figured it was time...

So when, in your opinions, is a good time to start archiving? I haven't
really noticed a performance degrade with my system, but I wanted to see
if anyone here enforces a size or message count limit.

We recommend that you maintain a range of 3,500 to 5,000 items in a folder 
depending on the capacity of the Exchange Server environment. Additionally, you 
can create more top-level folders or create sub-folders underneath the Inbox 
and Sent Items folders. When you do this, the costs that are associated with 
index creation will be greatly reduced if the number of items in any one folder 
does not exceed 5,000.

I'd say...
LOL
Most organizations do not allow archiving in the traditional sense... to
a PST (either stored on the user's PC, or a network share).
Many are moving forward with enterprise archiving products that will
archive for you.  
For the rest of us, the norm seems to be mailbox limits (for example
500MB) and force the users to do their own cleaning when they hit these
limits.
You should definitely have mailbox limits in place though, as storage is
not infinite.
 
HTH

Exchange 2007? Eh, don't worry too much about it as long as you have enough
memory on your Exchange Server.

 

Exchange 2003 or before? I wouldn't let mine get over 5,000 if you paid me.
