I'd appreciate any ideas.
Quotas have always been a problem for us. There have been enough issues that we basically couldn't't use filesystem-based quotas, and that's one of the inspirations for the "happymail" extensions we developed. It's not a direct answer to you situation, but it obliquely provides a workaround for I/O issues, if not to storage constraints. http://home.uchicago.edu/~dgc/sw/qpopper/index.html Disclaimer: we don't really use this anymore, as we've been hauled kicking and screaming by upper management into carefree turnkey mail appliance blissful all day long land. So I don't know how well this works with current qpoppers -- it was developed on 4.0.5, and I don't really maintain it anymore, since I can't defend that to mgmt and have enough other projects for my free time.
