Exchange 2007 Recipient Management

Mailbox Limits

Using the exchange management console (EMC) global mailbox limits are set at a Server Configuration level and can be overridden for individual mailboxes in Recipient Configuration.

Global limits are set on the individual Mailbox Database (it would be possible to have one mailbox database for normal users and another for heavy users such as managers and group mailboxes)

Right click on the mailbox database and select limits, the default setting is 2GB with a warning issued roughly 5% below and prohibit send 10% above.

Reduce these figures to the bare minimum, in my experience very few people require a mailbox more than 100mb. Large mailboxes just encourage bad housekeeping and increase the complexity and cost of backup.

High mailbox limits also impact Journaling & Continuous Replication
