[Dovecot] Dovecot quota not working

[Bruno Guimarães Sousa]

I am using system users + filesystem quota + dovecot + postfix + debian.
Can't update my dovecot to a newer version :(

Some lines of my configuration file (dovecot.conf) are like this:
mail_location = mbox:/home/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
mbox_lazy_writes = yes
protocol imap {
mail_plugins = quota imap_quota
}
plugin {
quota = fs:user
}

Now, it working. Squirrelmail shows the quota bar. The problem is that it
reads only mbox quota. I need to dovecot to read both filesystem quotas as
one.
[image:
?ui=2&view=att&th=1260052db09cca97&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=ii_1260052db09cca97&zw]


My own user quota is defined like this:
# quota just_me
Disk quotas for user just_me (uid 4877):
     Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit
grace
      /dev/sdc1  861296  900000 1000000               1       0       0
      /dev/sdb1  371156  900000 1000000              30       0       0

/dev/sdc1 is /var/mail/  (INBOX)
/dev/sdb1 is /home/ (mbox)

What should I do in order to squirrelmail to show a quota of 1.8GB (INBOX +
mbox) ?
