1 - storage is cheap - Costco sells a 1 TByte external drive for approx $US 300. That holds a LOT of e-mail. The 500 GByte is less than half that price. The problem is not storage as such. It's reliability of storage. For a good server, you need a hardware raid + backup, the latter being the real problem (mostly the time to make the backup, 1 TB would need quite some hours ;-)
2 - why not enforce quotas? I assume you could set quotas by user. We will have quotas, but they have to be realatively big (100 MB +), as we want that people are able to receive large messages. We don't mind the traffic.
POP users could opt to keep a copy on the server, so that doesn't guarantee anything. It does not guarantee, but the experience shows that using IMAP, people tend to archive the mails on the servers.
I prefer IMAP because then I can access the same mail from different clients computers...
Me too. But we need the possiblity to disable it for some users at the moment.
