If by "this 'feature'" you mean the fact that you can't download mail if
your mailbox file is larger than your free space left under your quota

If that's what you mean, then it's not specific to the Qube2, nor in
fact to any Cobalt product.

It's the way the pop daemon works.  On a standard Linux system (any
distribution I'm aware of) the same problem exists.  The way I resolve
it on Linux systems (not the Qube) is by giving the user his own account
JUST for mail, not for webspace or anything else, and putting the "/tmp"
directory on it's own partition with quotas turned off for that
partition.
