[Dovecot] [Dovecot 1.1.11] Dovecot cannot refresh the maildirsize

[Thu NGUYEN]

Dear all,

My problem is below:
- quota for user "Demo" is 3MB and Demo maildir is now 2.2MB
- then I sent an email with attachment (600KB) to demo@ 
- I relogin to account Demo but nothing changed (maildirsize in Maildir
still not changed)
- then I DELETE the maildirsize file and relogin, the maildirsize is now
updated.

---> however that's what not I expected as I should delete the maildirsize,
I wonder why the maildirsize file is not updated right after an incoming
email or after I relogin...?

Did I made something wrong?

Below is my dovecot config:
