Delete User Storage

People will often forget to delete their old voicemail, and this can heavily impact system storage AND system performance. Deleting mailboxes with excessive storage quota's is an easy way to free up disk space, and improve system performance. Checking mailbox storage should be performed as part of regular maintenance, as should removing mailboxes that are no longer required.

Meridian Mail is a message retrieval system, and not an archival system! Play it (2), delete it (76)!
