Email Storage Limitation

Paper Summary:

This paper reviews and discusses the proposal of a company's finance and accounting department to impose an email storage quota. According to the paper, the proposal was made in an attempt to combat the extra costs of network administrators and backup storage devices. The paper further reports that an email storage quota would also increase the responsibility and awareness level of the employees who would have to manage their computerized communications.

From the Paper:

"Aside from supporting a more efficient hardware system, an email storage limitation to 100 megabytes also supports a better quality of the Internet connection. The email quota limitation will force employees to reduce the number of emails sent to one email every 6 seconds. Furthermore, an electronic mailing limitation will offer a better control of the spam emails received and will oblige employees to delete them, instead of storing them, as in the case of unlimited emailing facilities. Also regarding the junk mail, a limitation offers the possibility of controlling whether the employees are sending spam mail towards customers, and if so, ending such actions. "
