If you mean time, and in time-of-day, the answer is no.

Not without changing the source. But the existing message is pretty
clear.

As Larry stated, an ALERT message is sent out each time the user SELECTs
a mailbox. If your client is not displaying them, then your client is
broken. You should refer the author(s) to section of 3.4.11 of RFC2683.
Other than than, you can write a script (I think one has been posted to
the list previously) which can detect overquota and quotawarn conditions
and post a message to a user's INBOX (via 'deliver -q').
