[Dovecot] LDA problem

[Azher Amin]

Hi Timo,

Thnx for quick suggestions, however i am still in trouble. I am using FS 
Quota and mbox. After looking at the Quota/FS, I changed the 
mail_location to below.
Few of my dovecot.conf settings are:

mail_location = 
mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/home/%u/mail/INBOX:INDEX=/var/mail/indexes/%u

protocol lda {
  # Address to use when sending rejection mails.
  postmaster_address = postmaster at localhost
  mail_plugins = quota
}

Plz suggest what to do next ......

Regards
-Azher
