Hi,

I just wanted to tell you that my problems are resolved now. Seems that Timo had the essential hint for me. Thank you very much!! :-)

No, I don´t want to :-) I switched this off.

Seems that was it! Now quota works very fine!

This happens again even after correcting the MySQL query, but it´s very easy to fix when the user logs out and in again (e.g. closes and reopens his Thunderbird) :-) 

Thank you very much for the fix and this very nice imap server!!!
