[Dovecot] QUOTA not appearing in CAPA

[Tim Traver]

Timo,

ok, I have been trying to get this all set up, and am still having
problems. I'm sorry for bugging you about this...

To refresh the situation, I have a custom checkpasswd routine that
retrieves the user information properly, which gives the Maildir root.

In that Maildir directory, I use the maildirquota file to set the quota
of the account.

although setting up a quota_rule did indeed make it so that the
maildirsize file was created when an email was delivered, it would
ignore the quota that is set up in the maildirquota file.

How do I get the quota plugins to use the maildirquota file as the
source of the correct quota for that account???

I have included my dovecot -n output for you

I can't figure this one out...
