+1 to one last mail, though it would be nice if the over percentage
could be configurable...

So user might not even realize that they didn't receive one of the mails. Also having a user "almost over quota" is a rather strange state I think.

Except add a limit that if the message size is as much as the user's entire quota limit it wouldn't be added (or 50% or ..?). Also IMAP wouldn't allow this, since user would get an error anyway. I could make this also optional, but if nobody really wants to keep the old behavior there's really no point in adding the option.
