AFAIK this is a general problem with quota. It doesn't apply to 
Squirrelmail only. It happens the same way with the POP daemons I know. 
The reason is that the mailbox file gets temporarily moved for opening it 
and thus for a short amount of time two files would exist and that user be 
over quota. Behavior may be better if you use maildir format, don't know.
