Software in terms of front-end? I don't know if they use pop, but I
understand they use squirrelmail as frontend.

Yes, a few - like the one I listed for johndoe.

Hmmm.. maybe

See the output below

[root at mail home]# cd johndoe/
[root at mail johndoe]# du -h mail/
32K     mail/.imap/Sent
40K     mail/.imap/Trash
32K     mail/.imap/Drafts
176K    mail/.imap/INBOX
284K    mail/.imap
88M     mail/

I wonder what is that 88MB? Just indexes??
