Sure. That's not an issue and I have clients with > 1GB mailboxes )-:One issue is that some people simply can't comprehend that their email folders are stored on their desk PC - so when they access their email via brambletabs they wonder why they can't see them.
For a very long time I couldn't work out why some people could Cc: all email they sent back to themselves too - and it was for that reason - so they had a copy of their outgoing email in their inbox!
POP solved a problem 15 years ago when disks were expensive - it should have died 10+ years ago.
