So why not just set a really large quota on the Trash folder?  You could
do something like:

setquota user.testuser STORAGE 102400
setquota user.testuser.Trash STORAGE 1024000

That would give the user a 100MB quota for normal mail and a 1GB quota for
their Trash folder.

Or am I missing something?  :)
