It has been a long time since I've seen a mail server with enough storage to handle each mailbox at 100% capacity. Most people check their mail regularly, and have empty boxes. In fact, on one mail server I've seen, the total daily delivered volume of e-mail (7GB) exceeds the total free space (5GB), but yet it never fills up, as most of are checking their e-mail constantly, so the number of e-mails in and out is roughly the same.
