'unlimited'. Separately, you could make the Archive folder (however it be named) end up on a separate partition or even a separate server/partition, so that it is abundantly less resource-rich than your average INBOX server(s)/partition(s). You would typically restrict your users to, say, 1GB of storage space, and hence force them to "archive" mail at a reasonable point in time -- or risk run out of storage quota. If the only place they can archive *to* just so happens to be this Archive folder that is located on a cheaper/slower set of disks, then maybe that's just what you wanted.
