Hello all,
I am using dovecot for some time now but always had very basic configurations. I recently have configured a new, additional namespace in order to move archived mails (Thunderbird Archives) to another storage system.
namespace { type = private separator = . prefix = Archives. location = maildir:/var/vmail/archive/%Ln/Maildir subscriptions = yes list = children inbox = no }
This works well but unfortunately I cannot find a solution to either ignore this new namespace from quota computation or add a separate quota value for it.
I have integrated user authentication with LDAP and fetch some user attributes from LDAP entries:
user_attrs = =home=/var/vmail/%Ln/Maildir,=mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%Ln/Maildir/,otherPager=quota_rule=*:storage=%$
I configured the quota plugin in the following way:
plugin { quota = maildir:User quota:ns= quota2 = maildir:Archive quota:ns=Archives. quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = ns=Archives.:ignore }
unfortunately this does not give the desired result. Folders under the Archives namespace use the same quota as INBOX.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this ?
Thank you for your kind help
Andreas
