Hello Timo,

thank you for your reply. I am using dovecot 2.1.7 (Ubuntu 12.10) and
have tried to configure a separate quote root for a second private
namespace without any success. The only working option is to
ignore/disable quota for the second namespace:


}
namespace inbox {
  hidden = no
  ignore_on_failure = no
  inbox = yes
  list = yes
  location =
  prefix =
  separator = /
  subscriptions = yes
  type = private
}

namespace {
  hidden = no
  ignore_on_failure = no
  inbox = no
  list = children
  location = maildir:/var/vmail/archives/%n/Maildir
  prefix = Archives/
  separator = /
  subscriptions = yes
  type = private
}



plugin {
        quota = maildir:User quota:ns=
        quota2 = maildir:Archives quota:ns=Archives/
        quota_rule = *:storage=1G
        quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+200M
        quota_rule3 = ns=Archives/:ignore
}


If I try to enter something like:

 quota_rule3 = ns=Archives/:storage=10G

I will get an error message saying that this is deprecated and needs to
be replaced by "+10G".

best regards

Andreas
