Hi all,

I have changed my quota config in every way that came to my mind but
did not manage to get the result I want to achieve. I would like to have
LDAP provided quota for INBOX ( this part is working) and a completely
separate 10G quota for the Archives namespace.

Is it actually possible to have separated quotas for multiple private
namespaces with dovecot (2.1.7)?

Thank you for your kind help.

best regards
