I don't think there's a fixed ratio; it's too dependent on how much you
use features like quotas and ACLs (and other DB-using features) and how
large you allow individual mailboxes to grow. We need about 0.5 megabyte
_per user_ for /var/imap; how much mailbox space the users get doesn't
really matter for it.
