Hi Tommi:
MUA solution. DBMail IMAPD supports RFC 2087 IMAP
quotas. A script
should not be hard to do but would be super expensive on
large systems to
maintain a real time polling of quotas. That's why the
protocol sets out
methods for doing this from the MUA so that it is done
per-user on an
as-needed query/response from the MUA to the server.
In my experience, users usually know when they are
aproaching
excessive storage because for one thing, their account is
sluggish. When
Thunderbird has 17000 headers to display, the user knows
things are getting
FULL.. 
Perhaps you imagine something like GMAIL or HOTMAIL's
slide-bar
indicators of how much mail is in storage vs quota. That
would be a nice
desktop MUA feature. I have written proprietary front ends
(web mail) and
socially engineered communications systems which have used a
'quota report'
just as does the Yahoo and Hotmail GUIs. I can well see why
it is not a
popular feature for mail clients.
DbMailAdministrator http://www.dbma.ca enables
Administrators to spot
over-quota users in a heartbeat and then send the user a
message or freeze
the account.
Just another view from another pair of eyes
best...
