In a word - training.

If that doesnt work, shock tactics - back up their pst file and then delete all their mails over say 3 weeks old - see if they notice.... and then only retrieve the actual mail they ask for - which of course would have to be scheduled for a day or two's time

I know its right out of BOFH but it really is the only way to go.

If you have users with 2Gig .pst files then they have some serious issues. Not only does that bog down their computer but it is a huge waste of space! They should have no more than 300meg in my opinion.

We have a 50meg limit at work but then again, we store their email on the server and don't actually D/L it to the HDs.
