WOW, thats hard... I have an account at the University in Freiburg/Germany and we have 1 GByte of storage sonce diskspace cost nearly nothing...

Random objects or objects older then a a certain age?

If it is so... how about them digest mails? ..and I realy ca not believe, that an University seup a quota of 50 MBytes. I know many students which create montly folders and then they tar it up at the end of the month. For example I have the whole list fro, 2002 to 2007 as local mailarchive and the smalest bzip2 tarball is from 2003-11 (308kByte) and the biggest 2007-04 (1538 kByte) and deco,pressed nearly 6 times bigger MAILDIR.
