Our Industry wont' change their habits easily - they still have issues with not FAXing things! Our user mailboxes don't have a quota - we did in 2008 implement Commvault mail archiver - This was good until ~ 2009 when I turned off active archiving and only use to recover stubs.Д¬ommvault while a great product was not the right product for us and I am now looking at other options like Mailstor / Exchange enterprise archiving options (via enterprise CALs).Д¬urrently I am restoring stubs from commvault - 100's of gigs of archived files being re-pushed back into the infomationstore so I have a complete picture of my storage - expecting it to take almost 3 weeks to restore all stubs back into mailboxes.Д®xpect to be approx 1.5tb in mail - hopefully exchange will Single Instance attachments. Local PSTs for us was a massive issue when doing searches for emails and we currently don't even allow local PST creation now.ДЇiles were often sent via email and many were 50mb in size and during the send all other users would be unable to send emails.ДЇF to local exchange servers and we cap mail attachments at ~26mb (30% mime encoding increase = 20mb attachment = 26mb if flowing over most mail systems - gmail - gmail / exch - exch then size remains the same) Previous setup was all POP mailboxes Circa 2005.ДЄnd all local PST files - We are engineering AEC so we get litigation 'requests' often - rarely full ediscovery but still 'legal requests' for emails and digital files. Users have no actual hard limit on emails. I have a user with 100k emails a month, and they dont reach even close to that. One Drive for Business and your archives will never reach that.

50GB mailbox size and 100GB archive mailbox.

But, even in Office 365 the mail size limits are not sufficient for some of their users. There are a few reasons why they don't want to go full O365 (not that I agree with them).

I guess long and short of my answer to how to deal with it is.don't?

If it's speed their worried about, just go full cache and they can use up their cheap local storage if they're so inclined. Not having to deal with storing e-mail hoarder's junk piles is a huge reason to fully push to 0365, make it Microsoft's problem.

#Massive mail install

You get 5 Office install licenses per 0365 user, there's not really much reason to use OWA unless you're at a library or something, just install Outlook on their other devices. What 365 plan are you on? I don't understand from a practical standpoint not wanting to go full 365.you don't HAVE to use OWA with it, most of my people don't frankly.
