[Dovecot] quota reporting and mail.app

[Mike Horwath]

Hi everyone.

I can't get mail.app to report back correct quota information using
mail.app and dovecot (though it works with courier-imap).

I am looking at migrating away from courier-imap to dovecot but this
issue is something I need to have resolved <somehow>.

Thunderbird is fine and reports back good info on either connection.

I am off to read RFCs (can't I just read the sendmail book again?
Might be easier...) to see what should really be done.
