- have enabled quotas on /home/username/mail,
- have reloaded Dovecot after config change,
- have read dovecot logs, if there are errors, and
- maybe you need to configure a limit, in order to enable quotas in Dovecot at all.
Tried on my server, seems like you're right - Dovecot is ignoring quota_rule userdb field and grabs the soft limit from the filesystem.
OK good to know. So it sounds like Dovecot is relying on the filesystem quota system to do the enforcement. This makes sense, and explains why the Dovecot index files should be in an area outside of quotas.
Thanks for your help.
