For my mail server, I created a /var/mail partition of 10 GB.  It is
currently about 40% full.

We don't restrict mailbox size for our users, but if a mailbox is
getting too full, we back it up, remove it, and notify the user how he
can get a backup copy.  So far, noone has ever asked for a backup copy.
