True enough. Both dormant and active users need reminding. Not only is
62MB way too low (if it was all delivered to UCC, Mark could consume
that in 1.5 emails ::-) ) but 162MB is way too low as well.

Some of the consumed space is the webcam (80MB of MPEGs, 4x30MB of
one-day's-worth-of-images-to-be-compressed), but there's over 8.5GB of
other stuff, too...
