Mailbox's reaching 50GB

Good day,

I have a couple of mailbox's reaching 50GB. I know MS Outlook's ost will not grow past 50gb.

I am running archives on those mailboxes but eventhough the online archive sits on different DB on Exc server it still adds to Ost size in Outlook.

Example :

Mailbox size = 30GB
Archive size = 17GB
Ost size = 47GB

What is the correct way of dealing with this?

Thanks

Thank you all for the different options.
Each option has credibility to it.

My short term solution is to increase outlook's ost size through registry.

My longterm solution is : I will delete all mails older than 2 years on local exchange. These emails is archived on mimecast - should we need them we can access them though mimecast online portal.

Thanks all
