How much mail does each user have now on average? What type of business are you in? Do you send plenty of large binary files around as part of that business? Lots of attachments? High quantity of smal messages (internal and external) or small quantity of large messages? Once you've answered those questions, you should get a feel for sizing the mailboxes and can then set them appropriately. I'd suggest that if you haven't had a limit setting before, that you set the limit high and walk the users down to a target size to prevent interrupting business. Al _____ From: Lettah LG.
