mailbox quota

[crocman]

Just wanted to get some feedback on whether you guys feel 1 mb is a sufficient mailbox quota for a general email package / hosting package where a client would only experience a moderate amount of traffic ??
Any ideas would be much appreciated

hmm i would make it at least 5mb, but then i suppose it all depend on how many email accounts you are expecting people to create. Dont forget that storage is taken of actual space used not allocation.

I think most ISPs will give you about 5 MB and I think free accounts typically give you around 2 MB worth of space.

5 Mb is reasonable - gives you enough space for someone to email you a good sized file. If they need larger, refer them to Yahoo, MSN, or Gmail (100Mb, 250Mb, and 1Gb of storaage respectively).

Thanx for the advice everyone.
Think I'll go the 5mb option

Had some people on comcast today a customer was emailing that bounced a full mailbox. The are giving 250mb. I know it is all the web mail people are using, but they wipe after 30days. But it is somethin for people not to check their mail.
