> Some of my users have the habit to grow huge mailboxes, over 10 Mb large,
> and
> everytime one of them tries to access the webmail, they cause heavy load

> This causes amy instances of imap daemons (UW-IMAP) to crash and remain

> process stack.
> I tried setting the maximum values allowed in php.ini to affordable

> this still doesn't prevent those users to try to access their mailboxes,

> I'd like to know if there is already some way to check mailbox sizes (by
> mailbox
> I mean the inbox on my spool partition) BEFORE attempting to connect the
> user,
> so I can at least present him a message telling him to narrow it down
> with his
> conventional mail client.
> If not, is there by any chance any way to select just some messages for

> By the way, I am using IMP 2.2.7.
