Mailbox quotas is one of the advantages of maildirs. You need filesystem quotas for Maildir, the MTA cannot enforce quotas under Maildir. (It can enforce quotas under mbox, but mbox has a different set of problems).

Many right methods. > What do you mean by 'one that understands MAILDIRS'. Does it depend on > the Delivery Agent sendmail or postfix). Courier imap. Postfix can deliver directly to maildirs, while you need to compile procmail specially to support mail delivery. If all your users have the same mailbox size, and you want to use wu-imapd (or something that supports mbox), I would suggest playing with max_message_size and max_mailbox_size under postfix. Or, if you like a little complexity (with corresponding power), try cyrus (cyrus-imapd). This has built in sasl and quota support.
