One other possibility that was not mentioned was using the QUOTA extension. That does have an extensibility mechanism that would allow a MAXAPPEND property.


That said I personally would prefer an ANNOTATEMORE approach as I do see this as being useful for both 'static' server limits as well as 'dynamic' per-mailbox quota limits. Different server implementations/deployments will likely have one or other of those limits so we need to provide a way to handle both.

Adding a /limits/ entry hierarchy for ANNOTATEMORE would be easy and would allow for specifying other limits if they are needed (e.g. MAXKEYWORDS, MAXSEARCHTERMS etc).
