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

https://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota

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.

hmm. This is a bit of an eye-opening statement.

My current practice is not to modify all of the various conf.d files, but rather to have a local.conf that has sections for each one that I want to customize. Basically keeping what is provided then having custom overrides in one place like:

#    20-pop3.conf
pop3_client_workarounds = outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh
protocol pop3 {
    mail_plugins = quota
}

I think what I should be learning here is to start my local.conf with:

mail_plugins = quota

then 15-lda section says:

#    15-lda.conf
postmaster_address = postmaster@htt-consult.com
protocol lda {
    mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes
lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes

Am I 'getting it'?

Also 20-lmtp only has:

#    20-lmtp.conf
lmtp_save_to_detail_mailbox = yes
protocol lmtp {
    mail_plugins = sieve
}

Again, it seems from your comment that should be:

    mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve

Finally, I am putting all my additions in local.conf. This is included via the LAST line in dovecot.conf. It seems that there should be a

!include_try global.conf

at the beginning of dovecot.conf, or some such name. Perhaps local_global.conf

The quota count can be recalculated with doveadm quota recalc

I will dig into this doveadm function.

thanks
