Well, thats a very simple solution. Also for my example. If I copy  
some mailboxes to the server I just remove the quota usage row and  
dovecot recalculates it. I can do this too, if I remove some spam  
messages or purge the trash...

What did you mean with too much work?
(It's able to do it and you said yes it can't but it can as you said later.)

Thank you,
