The strange thing is that the new settings won't get applied (I mean I 
can not override my default config). I have this in my dovecot.conf:

plugin {
  quota = maildir
  quota_rule = *:storage=100M
  quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=50M
}

and here is snippet from my userdb:

leva::uid:gid:gecos:home::quota_rule=*:storage=0

Still, when I log in, I get this in my dovecot log:

Info: IMAP(leva): Quota rule: root= mailbox= storage=102400kB messages=0
Info: IMAP(leva): Quota rule: root= mailbox=Trash storage=51200kB 
messages=0

Okay, thanks!

Thanks, acknowledged.

I meant that will Deliver totally ignore the quota, and deliver the 
mails no matter how many bytes they are consuming, or will it bounce(or 
maybe something else?) back the mail to the MTA if the destination user 
is over quota?

Thanks!
