I just tried doing this, and I started bouncing mail for everyone
because they were over quota (even when they arent), so I am clearly
missing something in how I have it configured. This is what I have:

namespace {
  separator = .
  prefix =
  inbox = yes
}

namespace {
  separator = .
  prefix = INBOX.
  inbox = no
  hidden = yes
  list = no
}


plugin {
  quota = dict:Your mail quota::proxy::quota
}

dict {
  quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf
}

plugin {
  quota_exceeded_message = You are over quota. To avoid losing mail, immediately empty your Trash and Sent folders and delete emails with large attachments.
  quota_rule = *:bytes=100663296 # in case someone doesn't have sql quota
  quota_rule2 = Trash:bytes=+20%% # let trash be larger by 20%
  quota_rule3 = Spam:bytes=+10%% # let spam be larger by 10%
  quota_rule4 = INBOX.Trash:bytes=+20%% # repeat the above for namespaces
  quota_rule5 = INBOX.Spam:bytes=+10%% # same
  quota_rule6 = INBOX.restored:bytes=+500%% # allow for temporary folder
}

...

protocol lda {
  # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins).
  mail_plugins = $mail_plugins
  plugin {
    quota_rule7 = INBOX:bytes=+10%%
  }
}

Maybe I should have that quota_rule7 be *:bytes=+10%% ?

thanks for any suggestions for what I am missing here!
