I know perhaps one tenth as much about subscriptions as you do. ;)

Incidentally, I am also confused about quotas. I want to set a TOTAL quota
for the ENTIRE USER, NOT a quota on each individual mailbox. I wish to
basically say: OK, user X can have up to 10MB of storage in their Inbox,
Sent, Drafts AND Trash all at once. NOT 10MB in Inbox, 10MB in Sent, 10MB
in Drafts....
Is there such a thing as a "sub-folder" or "sub-mailbox"?
