Well, Graham, I can always help you with that problem and lower your
quota......

SquirrelMail works like most IMAP clients; it copies the messages to
DELETED, which can then be purged. If that copy would cause a user
to exceed their quota, it will not work.

Most clients also give a user the ability for instantaneous deletion,
so Graham's suggestion is one way, or you can delete smaller amounts
and purge the DELETED folder after each time, or you can write to
consult and request a temporary increase in the quota.

I would also suggest that everyone tighten up their spam options and
have the spam deleted in 7 days. That will help matters.
