sorry i was unclear here,
quotas are created from http postfixadmin gui in a sql table
which i like to use with dbox.
It works nice with maildir as documented

I thought somehow workaround dbox quota with a dict quota sql...
but as i understood examples with dict ,it should be used to update 
static quotas to a sql table , not read dynamic quotas out of sql
( am i right here? )

I think existing quotas in sql could be used
if dovecot would ignore that no
maildir storage is used and simply
interpretes existing maildirsize files, which maybe created out of 
existing sql quota entries
( but thats speculate )
