A different approach, which may or may not help in your situation, is
to use a plugin which assists users in deleting messages before they
get up near the quota.  I know of three such plugins:

================
empty_trash
http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=92

The Empty Trash plugin will automatically empty a user's trash folder
periodically (by number of days between logins and/or by number of
logins). The system administrator can configure how often (if at all)
users' trash folders will be emptied.

Note that the settings used in this plugin will affect all users on
your system (who use SquirrelMail).

================
auto_prune_sent
http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=135

This plugin automatically deletes messages from your "sent" folder
which are older than a (per-user) configurable age.

================
proon (not yet on the SM plugins page ... getting there is in progress)
http://www.spindry.com/proon.1.0.0-1.4.4.tar.gz

This plug-in can automatically prune any of your folders of old
messages.  "Old" is configured per user, per folder.  It can also
prune folders by total size and by total message count.

================

FYI, I wrote the proon plugin.
