?The average user sends 34 emails and receives 99 emails every day.
Not that this means that every user moves 14.7MB of email data per
day, which is a hefty drain on resources. This represents a growth of
53% over last year's statistics.?

New Tidbits From Radicati's Latest Market Stats Report
http://www.messagingpipeline.com/trends/trends_archive/47903049
----------------------------------------------------------------------
?Radicati Group, Inc. estimates that the average corporate email user
sends and receives a total of 84 messages per day and that the average
message size of a message without an attachment is approximately 22
KB. Messages with attachments are typically much larger in size,
averaging about 350 KB per message.
In their Email Archiving Market Research Report 2004-2008, the
Radicati Group, Inc. stated that the average corporate email user
processes about 10 MB of data per day, rising to 15.8 MB per user, per
day by 2008. For a company with 1,000 users, that is an average of 10
Gigabytes per day, 50 GB per week, or 200 GB per month.?

??today over 20 percent of email comes with an attachment. Graphics,
spreadsheets and Word documents frequently accompany email messages.
As a result, email with attachments average around 100Kb currently.
Analysts predict that the size of email and attachments will grow at a
rate of 35 percent per year.?

?The average enterprise end-user currently receives 13 e-mail messages a day.
About 30% of these messages contain attachments. The average e-mail
message size is 3 kilobytes (Kb). The average attachment size is 300Kb. By the
year 2003 the e-mail message receipt rate will grow to over 20 per day and the
average size will be 9Kb. At the same time the message attachment size will
grow to well over 500Kb.?

?The Radicati Group, a market research firm that specializes in
emerging IT technologies, estimates that the average corporate e-mail
user sends and receives a total of 84 messages per day. When they
factor in e-mail attachments, Radicati calculates that the average
e-mail storage per user is about 10 MB per day. But what is most
worrisome, the firm projects that per user storage requirement will
grow by over 50% in the next four years to 15.8 MB per day in 2008

?Attachments account for 85 percent of all e-mail data (source:
Radicati Group). Storing all the attachment data bogs down e-mail
servers, yet purchasing new servers is cost-prohibitive.?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
?But it's not just the email messages themselves - file attachments
are causing email storage requirement to grow exponentially. The
projected compound annual growth rate for attachments is between 100
and 300% through 2005, according to IDC. As email databases grow, the
time to recover that data also grows exponentially - a problem
analysts say is quickly getting out of control. ?
?The average user now sends and receives 7 MB of data every day, it
says, but by 2007, that is expected to increase to 14.7 MB per day.?
