Have you considered cleaning out stuff you don't need.
Beyond quota issues, you're already having severe performance impact. You've also built a high-risk trove of information to plunder if anyone gains unauthorized access.
Yes, I have cleaned those files, but I have 20 years worth of email that I want to retain. The performance issue was never a problem before the transition, but that changed when using Yahoo. Synching with Yahoo has been much slower. To avoid that problem my non-inbox folders are treated as data and I do not synch them with Yahoo after the initial population. As far as the security issue goes you always need to assume that if you get hacked you are pretty well screwed. So firewalls, VPNs, appropriate antivirus/malware software, password management, and good security awareness procedures are a must. Most people don't realize just how much personal data can be gleaned from the average PC. So am I invulnerable? Of course not. My really sensitive files are on an external drive that gets disconnected after each use. CISM here.
