- have enabled quotas on /home/username/mail,
- have reloaded Dovecot after config change,
- have read dovecot logs, if there are errors, and
- maybe you need to configure a limit, in order to enable quotas in Dovecot at all.
Tried on my server, seems like you're right - Dovecot is ignoring quota_rule userdb field and grabs the soft limit from the filesystem.
- maybe try the mount=<path> option, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/FS
then? I would prefer to let Dovecot enforce quotas rather than rely on the filesystem quota mechanism, but keep disk I/O down.
Dunno if "rely" sounds like you don't trust it ;-) But you should place INDEXes somewhere else, if you enforce quota via file system.
Agree to that - if you count control/index directories towards user's quota and enforce it on filesystem level, users most likely won't be able to login and delete mail when they reach it.
