can't get quota working. I use static userdb driver.

[Вадим Бажов]

I found what causes quota not being working at all - namespace.
Whenever I declare a basic namespace :

namespace {
  type = public
  prefix = INBOX.
  separator = .
  inbox = yes
}

or even

namespace {
  type = public
  inbox = yes
}

Quota gets broken:

# doveadm quota recalc -u administrator; doveadm quota get -u administrator
Quota name Type    Value  Limit

         %
User quota STORAGE     0 100000

         0
User quota MESSAGE     0      -

         0

When I get rid of any namespace declaration, quota gets work:

# doveadm quota recalc -u administrator; doveadm quota get -u administrator
Quota name Type    Value  Limit

         %
User quota STORAGE 19922 100000

        19
User quota MESSAGE     2      -

         0

Quota settings are simple:

plugin {
  quota = maildir
  quota_rule = *:bytes=100000k
}

'count' quota engine works too as well.

But I need to declare and set up my own namespace (Spam and Sent
folders, subscriptions and autoexpunge stuff).
Any suggestions how to set quota within a specific namespace ?
