I don't want that some employees misuse oure email adres/server of emails that they store in there imap account. It make it a little bit more secure.

then, simply, enable quota and let your users aware that they are monitored and that every abuse will be reported..

sometime solution is not technical

Or if these users are not too skilled, you could configure their email client to use non-secured ports (25/143) and secure for everyone else (465/993).
