OK,

This is what I would do.
Delete OST form harddisk.
Create a PST file on his harddisk and let stupid user put his e-mail in
that PST file. Don't put pst on server, that takes too much space and
Its slower. If you want, you can let the mail to be delivered in the
pst file directly.
If PST file gets again close to the 2 gb, create another pst file. If us
er gets that full also, tell user to burn his shit on CD or DVD.
