Help calculating mailbox size

[vincehgov]

Hi,

What is the best way to calculate the maximum mailbox size I can give to my users?

I know how to set their quotas but I don't know what I can set it to.  Is there a "maximum total of all mailboxes" size that is specified that I can divide by the number of users I have?

I see that under Edit Mailbox Store, I can set the maximum size before warning.  How do I find out how big I can set this to?  Do you guys know of a best practices doc for setting mailbox size?

The design guide referrs you to the supported platforms list for this. The tables (e.g. Table 1) have a row labeled Approximate message storage, G-711 codec, minutes which gives you the total amount of minutes worth of storage. You can reference Table 3-1 Comparison of Audio Codecs Used for Recording from the design guide to convert between minutes and actual megabytes of storage consumed.
