It's reliability of storage. For a good server, you need a hardware raid + backup, the latter being the real problem (mostly the time to make the backup, 1 TB would need quite some hours ;-) > 2 - why not enforce quotas?

It does not guarantee, but the experience shows that using IMAP, people tend to archive the mails on the servers. > I prefer IMAP because then I can access the same mail from different > clients computers...
