This is dangerous situation -- after all one way to make disk "less full" is to delete some data, from KMail. So if KMail quits on disk full (think: auto check mail turned on) it is hard or impossible to delete data from KMail.

Quitting does not solve anything, it just scary a bit user and make deleting mail more difficult.

KMail should simply inform user about the problem (and even maybe disable fetching mail in advance if there is less than X MB free on disk).
