Apparently, v4 of the IMAP protocol has a QUOTA extension for this; it's reported as a CAPABILITY. I think some of that is documented in [1]. Am I wrong in suspecting that this is a higly desirable, or even a required, piece of the puzzle?
I don't think it's exactly needed as few clients use it. But Dovecot has a quota plugin available for it and it kind of works. Currently it has implemented only one way to track quota though: just read all files and sum their sizes. This should work fast enough with mboxes, but not a good idea with maildir. Other implementations will come later..
Tomi has written something about how to use the quota plugin in http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA
