Actually, IIRC, what I did (which is not that clean), was to alter Ansel and
Gollem to remove their add buttons when the Quota was exceeded.  Savvy users
could probably get around what I have, so its far from the best solution.  I
probably would have done a better job of it if I wasn't feeling dirty already
due to referencing IMP classes from other applications.  I agree that quota
enforcement is not the Quota class's responsibility.  IMO its the responsibiity
of the storage backend, be it IMAP or SQL.  Of course the applications should
be aware of it and try to simplify the users life by removing the temptation to
further exceed quota.

Regardless of its structure, the correct/clean solution will still need to
report quota usage, so IMHO, the Quota class should be moved.

Yes.  I think a proper solution should be implimented though.  If I ever get
time, and no one beats me to it, I'll do it...
