Here is one way to deal with having too much mail. We cannot
grant you more quota, you would have to send mail to
accounts@mit.edu for requests of that nature, but for the case of
mail I wouldn't expect it to be granted.

14 How to inc mail with a TEMPORARY directory
15 How to inc mail when over QUOTA
If you are over quota, it is difficult to incorporate your mail. However,
there are times when you may receive far more mail than you can store or want
to store in your own file space. Here is a temporary solution:
Create a directory on the temporary filesystem:
mkdir /usr/tmp/tempbox
Now you can incorporate your mail there, without using up any of your quota:
inc +/usr/tmp/tempbox
If you want to leave a couple of your mail messages on the post office, so
that you can incorporate them later as well, you should also use the
"-notruncate" option.
If you do not use "-notruncate", you must either delete or "refile +inbox" all
your information before you logout; otherwise, it will be deleted in three
days.
Be sure to go back under quota as soon as possible. Otherwise you may not be
able to create new files or edit existing ones.
