[Dovecot] Loadable module

[Maikel Verheijen]

Hi Timo,

When you have time to create the hooks to the various locations within
dovecot, I am willing to try to make a module to support Maildir quota's.
Would that be possible with the hooks, and can that be done using a plugin
as well?

Kind regards,

Maikel Verheijen.
