I'd suggest upgrading to a newer version. backports.org has v1.0.10 for
etch.

What do you mean by "send"? If you mean messages sent via SMTP, it
doesn't work because it's your SMTP server that saves the mail and
Dovecot never even sees it until it's already saved to the mailbox.

You may want to look into Dovecot's mail delivery agent and configure it
also to use quota: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA
