Where can I find evidence of company email mailbox limits?
I’ve always wondered why small companies don’t just use gmail for their email. You get over 2gb per mail box. You can POP. It’s free. If you get sued, you’re protected from having to dig all of that mail out (because you can’t get to it). There are downsides (HR can’t spy on you, the company can’t close the account when sales people leave). If that seems too radical for you, why not outsource it altogether? I see a LOT of large companies outsourcing various parts of their email (or at least the spam/virus bits). This would make a charge-back scheme very easy to implement internally, because the cost per head for email service would now be trivial to calculate. I have to say that I agree with the posters who think there should be no (or very liberal) limits to mail box size. Why should anyone care about your backup problems? If email helps the company get revenue (and I can’t think of any other reason to have an email system), who are you to make it a burdensome task to keep on top of?
