If there is no quota [your case#] there is no server-side tracking of
storage; the only solution is to walk the mailbox [and subordinate
mailboxes], which has numerous issues of its own.

I agree it would be very useful if the server kept capacity information
on-hand regardless of quota settings.  I'd like to see a "real size" and
"allocated size" values.  For example I'd like to know the size
including delayed-expunge messages.

On the other hand, putting on my sys-admin hat, is #2 a real situation?
If madly growing allocation is a potential issue it would see the
solution is a very large quota and to track some threshold of that
quota.
