Dovecot keeps the quota current, although dict quota has been known to be bit bad at this.

We nowadays recommend using count quota instead and use quota_clone to copy the quota state to database. It is more accurate.

And how is this recommendation implemented?

All I have are my old notes and what google is finding for me...

Please give me some pointers.

thanks

https://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Count

https://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/QuotaClone

and the recommendation is under

I have been spending effort today reading up on this and searching on a couple questions.

For my additions to 20-imap.conf I have:

imap_client_workarounds = delay-newmail
protocol imap {
    mail_plugins = quota imap_quota trash
}

I see that the mail_plugin quota is moved to 10-mail.conf.  No biggie there.  But what about trash?

And I tried to find documentation on imap_client_workarounds and all I have found is in:

https://wiki.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration#Client_Workarounds

"Check imap_client_workarounds and pop3_client_workarounds and see if you want to enable more of them than the defaults. ?

With no link about where to learn more.

Where does quota count go?  Just dovecot.conf or one of the numbered conf addtions?

https://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Count

Also is there a way to compute the count for all users?  I am migrating the maildir and rebuilding the sql database.  I see:

doveadm mailbox status -u user@domain vsize '*'

But do I do that for each user in each domain or is that '*' there to run it on all users?

I think this will get me started.

You probably should configure quota plugin globally, if you want LMTP/LDA deliveries to update quota.

The quota count can be recalculated with doveadm quota recalc
