I'll best most shell accounts do. My mailbox, for instance, has been
larger than 10 GB. (Due to some IDIOT who set a vacation-type program to
reply to "all" -- including herself. The loop repeated pretty fast, and
ran for about 10 hours before I discovered it.)
(I'm hoping this won't lead to "mine is bigger than yours" one-upmanship;
the point is that you need to look a bit wider than proprietary systems
when you make sweeping statements on this list.)
