It depends to number of sql transaction (number of mailboxes, number of mail for mailbox, ...)
Full recovery mode is always better than simple mode
I've about 500 mailbox and a storage with 600 gb and I use full recover model

I would stick with full, just back them up more frequently if space is an issue.

Obviously, this depends on your own needs.
If it's OK for you when you lose data when SQL fails, then simple mode might be OK for you.

However, As the previous posters suggested, recommended is definitely full recovery model.


What's your specific requirement for going to simple?
