our small (12 person) office, running an exchange server is running into
"email storage issues"...
generally, appropriate to the nature of the business, the email is stored in
subfolders within the public folder. the emails frequently have
attachments, occasionally 6M to 14M in size. This quickly max's the maximum
storage capacity. (a "dead filing / archive" routine is in place and
active)
there is a STRONG opinion on "one side" of the office that attachments ought
to be stripped and stored elsewhere. the "other" side feels that this is "a
pain in the ..." -the files need to be stripped, stored, frequently renamed,
and most significantly (aside from the time it takes to...) there is, after
stripping no record on the email of there having been an attachment;
additionally, it is frequently appropriate to have the attachment
"immediately available" when dealing with the emails issues (i.e. attached
to it). other suggestions have been to drag all the emails (with their
attachment) to a "normal" folder (outside of outlook); of course doing this
also strips all sorts of useful tools (ex: being able to sort by the senders
name...)
--->does anyone know of a forum, discussion, or web site that deals with
this issue.
thanks in advance,
mark (from one of the office "sides" -you guess which one LOL !)
