Not directly.

Incoming mails were spooled to /var/mail/user.
Upon login via IMAP or POP and when /var/mail/user changes those mails 
were slurped into ~user/<<don't remember>> by the imap/pop server process.

So the users saw at most as many mails that would fit into the filesystem 
quota.

This setup ditched for large mails sometimes, because the slurp worked
strictly sequentially.
