I don't think it's exactly needed as few clients use it. But Dovecot 
has a quota plugin available for it and it kind of works. Currently it 
has implemented only one way to track quota though: just read all files 
and sum their sizes. This should work fast enough with mboxes, but not 
a good idea with maildir. Other implementations will come later..

Tomi has written something about how to use the quota plugin in
