What a mindless rant!!
a)Surely you understand the differences between a free web based consumer email system and a corporate email system which your IT owns and runs? Why dont you move to GMail then? You know why? - you would have no-one to call when your incompetant email management left you in the predicament you now find yourself in. Why make this comparison then?
b)Clearly your dependancy on email as a business tool has increased - or you wouldnt have the mailbox size problem - so it's a higher value service - why is it unthinkable to have to pay more to invest in your messaging? system? (Hardware and Software)
c)No-one stores all their email at the front -line (in your Live Inbox) - get used to it - Use PST's like the rest of the world!

There is an old adage - you get what you pay for - why do you not expect to pay more for more from your Email Service?
Off to GMAIL then - let's see how long it is before you want your full control and features of your current email system.
Or you could just stop be so tight!
