Students get 100MB, interns and staff too. That is storage space on the
IMAP server though, if you POP it off (like I do) you can get over 1GB
of mail a month (like I do) :)

Pegasus mail rocked. *still* one of the best mail clients I ever used.

No, not really, but the point here is that most of the students and
interns that we hire to code on our framework have little to no
experience switching on a PC, never mind producing decent PHP. Mailing
lists, for some obscure reason, are their nemesis, so the easier I can
make it for them to communicate and get over the initial barriers to
FOSS development, the better.
