With POP3, they don't have a "Trash" folder so you're probably stuck setting a quota[1]. You could also run a cron job or maybe use the expire plugin to get rid of old messages, but that would likely piss someone off eventually. And, I guess, if they're leaving *every* message on the server, you could switch them to IMAP. They can't possibly leave any more stuff on there, right? [1] http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota
