Ken,

'If at first you don't succeed... cheat!'

- Provide a fudge-factor to the measured quota (available less current message
size or available less max-incoming message size) ... to whichever daemon needs
the adjustment in order to stay out of trouble. ELSE, actually allow a modest
over-qouta of 'enough' space to render the difference insignificant in daily use.

CAVEAT: Not tested.

With heaviest-IMAP users at under 3 GB growth per annum, and upgrading HDD about
every 3 years for Preventive Maintenance, the rate of growth in mass-market HDD
sizes has so far outstripped the rate of growth in user storage.

Here, anyway, the admin time would cost more than the larger HDD by two orders
of magnitude, if not three.

Your Mileage Obviously Varies
