That's definitely a good point. Maybe do both checks, and alert users
if they are 90%+ or if there is more mail on the server than they can
handle?
As long as we are deploying a wrapper on pine, we should make it so
that users without existing pine mailstores in their homedir are given
pine-imap rather than pine by default
If people are willing to wait until tonight to deploy this thing, I
will even add the functionality to choose between pine-imap and
pine-non-imap.
