It won't matter. Several people have already told you that the ability  
of a mail client
to delete messages on the server when you have run out of quota has  
NOTHING to do with
the client. It is how the server handles deletion of messages. You  
need to fix your
SERVER not the client. The client doesn't delete messages. The server  
does. If the
server can't delete a message when a user is over quota it won't make  
a blind
bit of difference having a button on your client that says 'Delete  
immediately'.
