But my employer still only gives me 200MB of email server space. Is this a part of IBM's master plan to hold enterprise customers hostage forever?

Oh hey look, HR sent out a happy easter email that uses pngs that were originally jpegs, guess I didn't need that precious 2% of my entire email allotment after all.

there's multiple different possibilities in play:

- your employer habitually underfunds their IT department and the email servers are creaking along on old hardware
- your IT department is run by graybeards who think email, and computers in general, should be text-only
- your employer specifically wants to discourage you from retaining emails so that in the event of a lawsuit or criminal investigation, there is less evidence that could conceivably be discovered

Live the dream
Set up a rule that automatically deletes every email as soon as it lands in your inbox.

This saves you time reading and deleting the emails. Time equals money, so your company will thank you for saving them big cash!

If you hoard emails you might have a bigger problem than lack of storage space.

32GB: Empty your wallet this is a loving stickup

Also enjoy your OS which takes up a full 3 gigs for reasons

semi-serious answer: performance starts to degrade at some point if you hoard emails and your emails are probably being archived somewhere outside the active databases if the company requires it for legal.
