Thank you Sam, this did work. The user is now able to pop their mail when over quota.
I do have one question regarding the IMAP server and quotas. When a message is moved from the inbox to the trash, it is unsuccessful when the user is over quota. I understand that there is or may be some additional copies of the file created during the move...or maybe not. Regardless, the move does not work. Is this a problem with the IMAP client (in this case SquirrelMail)? It would seem to me that moving it to the trash would create the new copy and once successful, delete the original. So, I guess at some point there are two copies of the message. Does anyone have any ideas or methods of circumventing this problem. I can think of 1 way which is to put the trash directory on another partition with no quota or a lower quota and have a symlink in their directory to it. However, that basically increases their quota. They could store mail in that directory as well as their other folders. Of course, we could cron the deletion of the messages in those boxes, but we would really like to give the decision to delete the messages to the users. The less we take away from them the better.
