I agree with Jason. You'll need the Enterprise version for stores larger
then 75GB, or since your end users are either using IMAP or POP3 and
selecting to save the mail on the server, it's best to just drag their
mail to a local PST and then reconfigure the Outlook client for MAPI
mode to the new Exchange server. With only 45 users, SBS Premium edition
is a good value and can grow to 75 users.
Also I would just tell your Mail clients that all their mail prior to
the mail server migration will remain local and all new mail will be
accessible on the server. It doesn't sound like you were using a group
ware solution for Calendaring so your free and busy information should
not have to be imported.

-------------------------------------------------------The standard
edition of Exchange, which comes with SBS, is limited to
one storage group with one mailbox store and one public store. It is
also limited to 75GB. I don't recall if this is a total limit or 75GB
for mailbox and another 75 for the public folder store.
To support more DBs and over 75GB you will need the enterprise edition
of Exchange.
I highly suggest you limit what data you migration over from the Linux
system, having an average mailbox size of 4.4GB is absurd! To support
this amount of data is going to require good planning for
backup/restore, DR, and for your storage system.
While there is no "hard" limit to mailbox size in Exchange the general
recommendation is 200MB/user. If users are working in cached mode in
Outlook their entire (4GB+ mailbox in your case) in stored locally in a
OST file. If Outlook crashed or a user just shuts off their machine it
will take a VERY LONG time to check this file for errors, which cannot
be skipped, the next time Outlook starts up. In addition, any type of
desktop search software (Lookout, Google, MSN, etc) will put a big load
on the server as it tries to index this amount of mail.
If most of the space is due to attachments then get them out of your
mail system and store them in SharePoint or a file share.
