One solution would be to take the dovecot-uidlist file out of the mail directory structure, on which the quotas are enforced, but this is not configurable in dovecot. Alternatively, having someway of changing to ownership of the file would also get around this problem.
It is possible, even if it's not documented as well as it should be. We use this mail_location setting here:
mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir:INDEX=/mail/index/%u:CONTROL=/mail/index/%u
This results in index files (INDEX=..) as well as dovecot-uidlist files (CONTROL=..) being stored ouside of the home partition (where user/group quotas do not apply).
Hope that helps.
