Well, you can have per-namespace quotas. But that of course means that
the other namespace must have a prefix, so users would have to have
something like:

 - INBOX
 - Drafts
 - Sent
 - bignamespace
     - work
     - etc.

Which wouldn't be very pretty. So if you then wanted to arbitrarily move
mailboxes across different quota roots .. I'm not really even sure what
would be a good way to configure that.

For INBOX only a separate namespace should be possible to implement
without trouble though.
