I have some users whose mailboxes are almost up to 1.5GB.....What's the limit on Exchange 2000?

You are limited by your mail server not exchange.

Exchange IS the mail server, RayMan ;). It has also a client program, but its based on the server application. The Exchange mailboxes, tenover, are ultimately limited by your hard drive capacity. You can set up individual mailbox size limits using the Exchange Administrator. To do so, enter into the properties of the one you want to modify and there you'll find a tab (can't remember its name) on which you can fill in the size limits in KBs.
Hope this helps!

Sorry about the wording....I meant on the actual Exchange server. I know you can set up quotas and limits and such...So I must be thinking of .pst files that can get corrupted at 1.8GB.
