Oh, that¹s a good one!

I do tech support at work and while I¹m not a server administrator, I¹ve
heard stories how we¹ve had emergency cleanups because users are running
out of disk space only to discover more than half the 1000GB of space is
consumed by PST files belonging to a handful of people.

Our company has an E-mail server routine that automatically deletes
messages over 90 days. If we want to keep something then we are
responsible for archiving it locally. For six years I¹ve let that policy
run and never archived a message. Have had no regrets. Sure, I have had a
handful of messages I¹d like to refer back to but I haven¹t lost sleep
over them. I know that I can always find the information somewhere else.
