Does email queue affect speed of email traffic for other users on shared server?

I have a guy on the server who hit the mailbox storage limit, so the inbound emails got stuck in the email queue. How urgently do I need to act on this problem and does he threaten the performance for other users? Thank you in advance for your help.
