Courier Imap and Quotas?

[Justin Bennett]

I'm pretty familiar with FS quotas we don't currently use them, this was 
a popup an imap generated message. I was hoping to set some soft limits, 
maybe have a warning when the user has an extraordinary amount of 
mail... This would just be for email, not on the users home directory as 
a whole. Just something I saw, was just curious.
