I think the only practical solution is to use post-login scripting: http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting

Check the disk usage using df and if the usage is >=90% send the mail.  
This works of course only when user is logging in.

I guess it would be nice for quota warnings to work with filesystem  
quota as well. I'll add to my TODO.
