When you only disable the quota plugin in the lda section, then quota
values will be updated on imap/pop3 login. If a user reaches her/his
quota limit, he/she will no longer be able to move messages from one
folder to an other one.
If you would have provided the necessary information, I probably could
provide an appropriate solution. But my crystal ball told me that you
are using SQL based quotas. so replace:
quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict
by:
quota = dict:user::noenforcing:proxy::quotadict
In order to prevent mail bounces (while enforcing the quota rules) you
can set quota_full_tempfail to yes in protocol lda {…} section.
