Do you really want to use LDAP to store the constant changing and often
rewritten values for the actual used space of the mailbox?

Believe me, this _will_ cause awful performance.

Reading the maximum quota values from LDAP on the other hand is quite
common, just storing the runtime information about the message count and
the current size is a very very bad idea.
