[Dovecot] Separate quotas not displayed correctly

Hello all,

My system is set up to have quotas both on /var/mail, where emails are
received, and on /export/home, where users' homedirs are.
But the client (Thunderbird) shows the same /export/home values both for
the Inbox and for the folders in the homedir, so a user cannot know
where she stands on her /var/mail use.

This is Dovecot 1.1.5. As per the wiki, the dovecot.conf file contains this:

  quota  = fs:INBOX:mount=/var/mail
  quota2 = fs:Others:mount=/export/home

A sample user:
# quota -v testimap
Disk quotas for testimap (uid 1143):
Filesystem     usage  quota  limit    timeleft  files  quota  limit
timeleft
/export/home    6490  10000  15000                  0      0      0
/var/mail          0  20000  25000                  0      0      0

When  Icheck the Quota tab in the Properties of the Inbox, the field
contains "Others", and the value are 6490 out of 10000.

Any idea why this doesn't display the value of /var/mail?
