quota on number of message

[Ken Murchison]

Actually, this looks like it would be more invasive and involved than I 
first thought.  You can start by doing a

find . -name '*.c' -print | xargs egrep -i quota

in the imap/ directory to see where the quota gets touched.  You'd have 
to extend the format of the quota files and the quota struct and then 
modify all of the surrounding code to use it.  It also looks like a lot 
of the code makes the assumption that the one and only quota will be 
STORAGE.  This would probably not be a trivial task, albeit not an 
exceedingly difficult one.

If you have money to throw at the problem, I could be convinced to 
tackle this for you  ;)
