My mail agent is postfix and by default it imposes the INBOX size of 50 meg. I would like my imap mail clients (I'm using Thunderbird) to "see" this and warn me when my inbox fills up. I tried doing it with the old quota system but wasn't successful. With the new quota rule system it looks like per-mailbox quotas are possible, however when I do this:
quota = maildir quota_rule = INBOX:storage=50000
I get an error in the log:
Sep 28 02:18:31 discworld dovecot: IMAP(kristian): open((null)) failed: Bad address Sep 28 02:18:31 discworld dovecot: IMAP(kristian): Internal quota calculation error Sep 28 02:20:04 discworld dovecot: IMAP(kristian): open((null)) failed: Bad address Sep 28 02:20:04 discworld dovecot: IMAP(kristian): open((null)) failed: Bad address
is there any way to get the inbox quota to work properly? I guess many systems use postfix and have 50M inbox limit so it would really be helpful if this information is pushed somehow through imap to the client.
thanks, K
