One big problem I have with the volume of my email at work is that I hit my storage quota on our exchange server far too often. I’m always looking for ways to save space in my mailbox without having to move a lot of mail to offline folders.

I stumbled upon bxAutoZip which is an add-on for Outlook that automatically ZIPs attachments in emails that you send when the size is above a configurable threshold. This is not only good for the recipients of my emails, but I also benefit from it since it keeps my “Sent items” folder in check.

I’ve been running it for the past few days and I’m loving it so far.
