And what is exactly the use of the so called Quota reporting plugin? I 
mean this (from the bottom of http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/FS):
protocol imap {
  mail_plugins = quota imap_quota
}

plugin {
  quota = fs
}

As far as dovecot concerned, the actual filesystem quota restricts any 
file operations, and the smtp server can not deliver messages neither. 
So the Maildir is "locked". What could this plugin do?
