    As always, gay people are the vanguard and rosé sales are for sure on the way up

    Leaving 10 gigs of decade old emails on your exchange account should be a criminal offense

    No, because gigs are fucking cheap.

    I used to feel this way, and there are things to be done to stem the tide intelligently like aggregating attachments (or even using some kind of off platform solution like box or dropbox), but people should be allowed to hit the search box and find a conversation from 6 years ago.

    The fact that gmail offers people a significantly larger mailbox for free than most Enterprise exchange end users have is just sad. Sad!

    We use Symantec vault to store old emails. Gets them out of the exchange but you can still call them up from outlook. One of symantecs better tools.

    its not the gigs its that every read/write of an email in exchange increases the chances it gets corrupted. When you get a corrupted profile Outlook shits itself in a thousand different ways.

    But it is a good point-in-time conversation tool that can point to a file that you may need from 5 years ago that is all of a sudden relevant.

    And while I understand outlook throws a rod when shit gets corrupted, do not blame the end user for wanting what should be considered basic functionality at this point; blame Microsoft for not fixing their idiotic mail database.

    People collaborate with people outside the network and company all the time, and expecting everyone to follow company policy 247.3 that clearly states "all files related to project X must go into the proper [company]/[project]/[year] folder and renamed for clarity" is asking a lot from humans.

    I had to troubleshoot an issue with emails back in the early naughts.

    things were taking an incredibly long time to send on certain days of the week

    certain days, that just so happened to have sales people on staff

    sales people were emailing 100 meg PDFs to clients (a client packet that was static)

    they could've uploaded that to the website instead, and just provided a link

    this is the kind of shit I hate, I will never agree that it's right, sorry, no amount of "yeah but in the real world", because fuck that
