In the past I dabbled with the imap quota plugin with the fs backend because I wanted to report usage to my users (not limit them). At the time, the quota plugin would make dovecot crash when trying to write to a folder (I can bring up this report if needed). However, in a later beta of dovecot 1.1 I tried quota again but I cannot get it to report any results. I've been wanting to use fs:noenforcing but also tried just quota = fs to simplify. When I right click a folder stored in my homedir, thunderbird tells me 'the server does not support quotas' in the folder properties. What else can I do? Thanks!
