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
0User quota MESSAGE 0 -
0When 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
19User quota MESSAGE 2 -
0Quota 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 ?

Quotas not being counted with 'passwd-file' driver too. Thunderbird still doesn't show quota bar. It is mentioned to run passdb with '-d' parameter if quotas aren't working. Can you explain how to set it up. How to run passdb with '-d' parameter ? Any configuration file snippet ?

Just tried 'count', 'fs' and 'dirsize' quota ackends. All the same.
# doveadm quota recalc # doveadm quota get -u vadim Quota name Type Value Limit
%User quota STORAGE 0 10240
0User quota MESSAGE 0 -
0# doveadm quota get Quota name Type Value Limit
%User quota STORAGE 0 10240
0User quota MESSAGE 0 -
It looks like quota_rule is interpreted but quota backend doesn't work (cant count current quota state).
I deleted all the mailboxes, then I divided CONTROL an INDEX dirs apart from mailbox dir itself: maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u:INDEX=/tmp/no-quotas/index/%u:CONTROL=/tmp/no-quotas/control/%u Boxes were created with dovecot files for them under /tmp/no-quotas as well, but no changes. quota value is always zero. May be I should try MDBOX with all these quota backends, but, anyway, I cant migrate to MDBOX yet, so it's not my choice.
Any suggestions ? Does anyone has a working maldir quota installation all around ? Dovecot version is 2.2.27 (c0f36b0).
Some other questions: put CONTROL and INDEX files in separate dir, but in the same dis
- Documentation says that quotas can work improperly if static userdb driver is used. I use static driver. Is it really a problem ? I tried to return user quotas from my bash-script, it passes from bash to dovecot during lmtp and auth processes succesfully. But no difference with calculating quotas. Can I use something different from static driver for userdb if I use external bash script for auth and lmtp ? (I will try to change the driver...)
- It said that maildir quota backend count quotas using 'maildirsize' files. I dont have such files inside box dirs. What should I tune in order to create them by dovecot ?
- Found this in docs: "Dovecot can't currently handle not being able to write the control files, so it will cause problems with filesystem quota. To avoid problems with this, you should place control files into a partition where quota isn't checked. You can specify this by adding :CONTROL=<path> to mail_location, for example:" - i tried to
partition. Should I really change the disk partition ? What 'filesystem quota' means here ? I dont use any disk quotas in my system (centos 6.9).

Thank you for your answers. I fixed config to:
plugin { sieve_default = /mnt/rw_disc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve sieve_global = /mnt/rw_disc/dovecot/sieve/
quota = maildir:User quota_rule = *:storage=10M # quota_rule2 = INBOX.Trash:storage=+10%% quota_max_mail_size = 3M quota_exceeded_message = "552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full" }
Have you tried using a different backend (e.g. dict & flat file)?
The mail_location is actually maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u, mdbox was a misspelling (i tried migration from maildir to mdbox before).
I'm wondering if this might be caused by using the same directory for home and mail?
