RFC2087 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2087.html) describes the response like as:
STORAGE: Sum of messages' RFC822.SIZE, in units of 1024 octets
BTW. Dovecot doesn't do this. Originally I kept wondering if it should be counting the RFC822.SIZEs or physical message sizes and then I ended up using physical sizes. But I guess it doesn't really matter.
MESSAGE: Number of messages
As you can see, the response "MESSAGES" differs from the specified "MESSAGE" which leads to parsing issues on RFC compliant IMAP client implementations. Using *:message=1337 throws a configuration error on Dovecot startup.
I guess message quota is rarely used, since no-one has noticed this before. :) Fixed now: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/568fed966ca3
