But as far as I know a soft quota can just be ignored by the user. And as long as something can be ignored it will be ignored, causing the user to reach the hard quota. I set the hard quota to the limit of imapd's mbx format, which is 2 gb. I guess it is better to reach a hard quota than to reach mbx format's limit, but that is just my guess (correct me if I am wrong). No one is above 1 gb yet, but I warn people with large mailboxes to clean those out. Squirrelmail likes to time out with huge mailboxes, so there is some intent to keep the size relatively small.

Greetings,
