You are correct, 64 gig is a hard limit and things get nasty when the database reaches this size.
I was never a proponent of Archiving, but that is of course one option. The user can archive locally, to a network share, or Archiving can be set up and scheduled to run on the server.
Another option is to ensure users clean up old/unneeded mail, every time i ever get into a discussion (argument) with a user that ‘they need everything in their mail file’, I can usually find in the first 4 messages in their inbox 3 messages about scheduled server reboots from 2001 or so…

Yes archiving is one option but is there any other option available so that if future data increase then no load in lotus notes.

Under Notes 7, I can’t think of anything. File size is file size, and as long as the users insist on keeping everything, there’s not a lot that can be done.
I will say, too, that I’m not aware of any email server/client that will allow unlimited storage, but maybe there is…
Anyhow, If you upgrade to a more current version of the server, DAOS (Domino Attachment and Object Store) will move attachments from mail files to a DAOS store, which can have a significant impact of mail file size. Quite often a mail file will have multiple copies of the same attachment(s), so moving them out can have quite an impact.
