Maybe some user education is in place? No one should need such a huge
INBOX. It's easy enough to create folders for different purposes and
move emails there, if not just delete old stuff you never really check
anymore. I also saw you have people with mailboxes larger than 1 GB, due
to large attachments. You maybe would want to limit attachments to about
50 mb. If anyone has a pressing need to abuse email to send more, give
them an (s)ftp account.
Also, in case you use a php based webmail setup, such as squirrelmail,
you may like to set this in the appropriate php.ini file such as
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
(16MB)
If left at the default mailboxes larger than about 500 MB may just
timeout, as your co-worker experienced.

I converted people's INBOX files and certain standard files (Sent etc.)
to mbx format. But I didn't touch any other mailbox files they may have
created. It'd be kinda hard to keep up and those normally are in less
need to be converted. It seems clients, thunderbird at least, create
mailboxes in unix format.
