	Hmmm, I'm using cyrus as IMAP server, and pserv (from popular
pagage) to make pop3.  I don't remember if cyrus comes with pop3
servers.

	That could be a good solution, but I'll have to reestruct some
of my system.  I'll put it in consideration with the other solutions.

	Thanks alot,
	Thiago Lima.

You seemed to have picked a rather unusual setup scheme.  From your
description, I see your setup as:

  Server 1: Webmail (with IMAP running locally)
  Server 2: POP3 Accounts

Am I correct? What POP3 services do you run? I provide a similar kind of
thing... but I don't use different hosts for the IMAP/POP3 details. What
I mean is my IMAP server reads INBOX from the same files my POP3 server
reads it's mail from. In that method, there is no need to have separate
quotas.  There are several combinations of IMAP/POP3 servers that will
do that for you.

  Courier-IMAP comes with it's own POP3 server
  UW-IMAP, and you can then use QPopper to read for POP3

There are two examples for you. Also using that kind of setup, users
don't complain about their mail going missing when they read the mail in
their POP3 account when they login via the web.
