This is something Timo hacked up for me a few years ago and I realised should be on the list in case anyone else wants them.
The following patches will limit maildir folders to 4000 messages on Dovecot 2.0.* and 2.1.*
The Specfile patch is against the Cityfan Redhat EL5 SRPM but is likely to work on most build platforms
Changing the message limit requires a recompile. It's brutal and ugly but it prevents users overloading FSes that can't cope with huge numbers of files (EG: GFS2)
Hi, sorry for the dumb question, but isn't there already in Dovecot a way to limit the number of messages?
Something like:
quota_rule = *:messages=4000

Or it's something different?
