The problem is that imap binary isn't linked with libdb, so this doesn't
work. You'll have to somehow kludge this yourself, or an easier way is
to use dict proxy. It's configured the same way as SQL for dict quota:

Note that the expire plugin hasn't been tested for a year or so, so be
sure to test that it works before relying on it :)
