i only wanna use the qutoas out of sql crated by postfixadmin
What does this mean? Does it create the maildirsize files? Can't you have Dovecot look up the limits from SQL itself in user_query?
sorry i was unclear here, quotas are created from http postfixadmin gui in a sql table which i like to use with dbox. It works nice with maildir as documented
I thought somehow workaround dbox quota with a dict quota sql... but as i understood examples with dict ,it should be used to update static quotas to a sql table , not read dynamic quotas out of sql ( am i right here? )
Yes, dict quota is about keeping track of the users' current quota. It receives the actual quota limits from external settings.
I think existing quotas in sql could be used if dovecot would ignore that no maildir storage is used and simply interpretes existing maildirsize files, which maybe created out of existing sql quota entries ( but thats speculate )
You can of course create a script for yourself that does that, but I don't think Dovecot should bother trying to do it.
