Quota's are good.  I also have a mail-eatting script that looks at the size 
of the mailbox and prunes out messages till the mailbox is within specs - 
or all the mail in the box is less than 5 days old... whichever comes first.

If we are running IMAP, we don't want a script like that, but if we are 
running POP, it comes in handy.

Personally I want IMAP and as much storage as I can get (about 50Mb).  To 
help that happen, I'm willing to kick-in $50 towards a new HD.

If you install the latest Cooker on the box (Mandrake), you'll make me a 
happy man...  ;-).  I'm happy to lend some time to the project if you need 
it.  I live on the Western edge of Apex near FV.
