You should define location of the dovecot's index-files to default_mail_env-setting on your dovecot's config file.
Something like this:
INDEX=/usr/local/var/dovecotindex/%n
It's important that index-files are not on the filesystem which has quota enabled. 0.99.x uses index-directories for temp-files as defined in mail-index-util.c
--cut-- int mail_index_create_temp_file(struct mail_index *index, const char **path) { int fd;
/* use ".temp.host.pid" as temporary file name. unlink() it first,
just to be sure it's not symlinked somewhere for some reason..
FIXME: this function should rather be removed entirely. With
in-memory indexes index->dir is NULL, so we fallback to /tmp
so that mbox rewriting doesn't crash. */
*path = t_strconcat(index->dir != NULL ? index->dir : "/tmp",
"/.temp.", my_hostname, ".", my_pid, NULL);--cuit--
