Email dominates the swelling tide of digital information and has begun to saturate corporate information storage systems. No other digital information is as pervasive. Today, over 225 million people worldwide can send and receive email and predictions are that 750 million email addresses will exist around the globe by 2005.
IDC forecasts that the total number of e-mails sent daily worldwide is growing from 9.7 billion in 2000 to 35 billion in 2005. The increasing growth of unstructured content?ncluding e-mail, instant messages, documents, and images?ill soon outstrip the storage requirements of traditional structured data. And according to IDC, the average office worker will send and receive between 60 and 200 email messages each day. Microsoft, for example, processes more than 3 million email messages every day.
