please apologize that I repost this problem again. I tried to get some help several times on the list but did not find/get a solution.
I am still struggling to setup different quotas for namespaces.
In addition to the default "INBOX" namespace I have created a namespace called "MailArchive" which should have its own quota value of 5G per user.
At first I configured quota2 like this:
quota2 = maildir:MailArchive quota:ns=MailArchive/ quota2_rule = *:storage=5G
and this seemd to work quite well. Users, accessing the MailArchive namespace can see the 5G limit in their mail client, unfortunately in the mail.err log file, errors like these repeatedly appear:
Jul 29 11:40:24 mailserver dovecot: imap(testuser): Error: quota: Unknown namespace: MailArchive/ Jul 29 11:41:43 dovecot: last message repeated 47 times
I can't reproduce this, works fine for me. Show your entire doveconf -n output? Also set mail_debug=yes and show what it logs when you log in.
In the WIKI I have read, that in order to have quota for different namespaces, one would have to use different quota backends so I changed the quota config for the MailArchive namespace to SQL.
The wiki was wrong, you can use two Maildir++ quota backends for different namespaces. I updated the wiki now.
