More specifically, you need to create a quota root on the Archive folder 
(however it be named) so that it is no longer a part of the original 
INBOX quota root, and you could set the Archive folder's quota root 
storage quota to be '-1', aka. 'unlimited'.

Separately, you could make the Archive folder (however it be named) end 
up on a separate partition or even a separate server/partition, so that 
it is abundantly less resource-rich than your average INBOX 
server(s)/partition(s).

You would typically restrict your users to, say, 1GB of storage space, 
and hence force them to "archive" mail at a reasonable point in time -- 
or risk run out of storage quota.

If the only place they can archive *to* just so happens to be this 
Archive folder that is located on a cheaper/slower set of disks, then 
maybe that's just what you wanted.
