Check out quotawarn: and quotawarnkb: in man imapd.conf. They result in IMAP ALERT messages being generated.
Note that these alerts are sent on SELECT, and it has been claimed that Outlook SELECTs a lot, making it unusable. I have not verified this.
Indeed, this can be a problem if you have a large number of folders. For example, I have about 30 folders under my Inbox for archived messages, various mailing lists, etc., and if I ever get near the quota, hitting Control+M to poll for messages is a really bad idea, because I'll get an alert dialog at least once for each and every folder -- and there's nothing you can do but keep hitting ENTER until it is done.
You can try this patch patch from CVS which I just committed:
http://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/cyrus/imap/imapd.c.diff?r1=1.490&r2=1.491&f=u
I will reduce the number of ALERTs for any given quotaroot to one every 10 minutes. I thought about reducing it to just one per quotaroot, but if a user is over quota, I think we want to nag them a little bit.
