To return to my original question, would it work to implementquotas now with Maildrop, even though Dovecot doesn't support it, or should I just wait until version 1.0 (or whenever quotas are supported) is released? My thinking is that even if Dovecot doesn't support quotas, I can at least control what amount of mail arrives for the user, and I believe I saw something that said that Maildrop will recalculate the percentage of the quota filled on a regular basis if there is something (like Dovecot) fiddling with the mail but not changing the percentage. But if I'm wrong, and this is just going to hopelessly mess things up, I'd like to know.
Never cared too much for softquotas. If maildrop knows when Dovecot has moved mails around (which changes the Maildir/.subfolder/{cur,new} directories' mtime) so it knows when to recalculate the quotas for folders, then give it a spin and see what you get. It might be sufficient for the moment.
