Too bad Going Google (Premier) limits you to that 25 GB/user...

There is no extra storage. None. I will be reaching my 25 GB limit by August 1st. I pay Google my $50 per Google Apps user and I can only get 25 GB. No more space. Period. WTF is up with that? I can't even pay for an extra user and get that space assigned to my user.

Now I have to plan a setup for my own email server and migrate all my friggin data if Google doesn't add this soon.

Thanks, Google, for forcing me to DELETE email or move...

(I'm a paying Google Apps user who only wants to get the feature Gmail accounts get, Extra effing Storage for a price).

I agree you should be able to buy more space (especially since you can with @gmail accounts), but what are your storing that adds up to so much space? I have 5,000 messages stored in my Google Apps account and it only adds up to 871MB.
I'm storing all my email since '03 (I had a major Outlook PST corruption and lost all mail prior to '03 before I IMAP-ed all my emails up to Google Apps)

It's just every single piece of email I've received or sent out during that time and while it also includes emails w/photos sent to friends and stuff like that, as well as work-related email, I want to keep every single one of those messages.

PS: Right now I have 68937 messages in my All Mail folder when checked out via IMAP and I'm using 23176 MB (90%) of my 25600 MB. And it's growing by about 1GB every month so I'm running out of time...

You must do a lot more attachments than me--my All Mail folder in IMAP has 22,019 messages. Each of your messages is taking up 1/3 of a MB, yikes.
A lot of back and forthing of Word documents, some of them 10-20 MBs in size... but hey, it's work, I have to do it.
