the problem is when the quota is over, the inbox in squirrelmail is locked so the user can't delete their mails and free the space. And all is frozen for them.
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.
