Yes, I know this practise. It stems from the days when storage was 
expensive. Nowadays this practise (or at least such insanely small 
limits) are just wrong. The size of hard disks doubles each year (or 
maybe every 1.5 years; the exact progression doesn't matter) and the 
ratio storage space/money constantly decreases. Still the quota for mail 
boxes stays constant for ages. This makes no sense. Also, any cheap 
freemail provider out there offers at least 1 GB of space.

I suggest you talk to your IT department if you are hampered by an 
unrealistically small quota.

If you scrub your messages from huge attachments (which you can safely 
store on a NAS) then a quota of 1 GB will easily suffice for decades.
