I guess he is one of those guys that like to forward mails back and forth,
and he kind of forgot to poll that account as well, until he had a backlog
of thousands of mails.

That could be, though the real question is why anything he polled with

it, but AFAIK you can set it up not to bounce anything and instead
redirect it to a postmaster account.
