there is no good or evil to this case, its a design question which may
change in different places,, the abuse case might be acceptable, as the
Junk folder i.e is imap special used autoconfigured
and has auto empty feature, i give 50 mb plus quota on Junk folder
and delete mail older then 3 month there
