The public mailbox quota works fine. Thanks to ll who helped. I'm running 1.2.4 This is what I did to get a public folder called newsletters with quota of 100M

1. Create a maildir called newsletters
2. Entered this to define the namespace in dovecot.conf

namespace public { separator = / prefix = newsletters/ list = yes subscriptions = yes location = maildir:/home/public/newsletters }

3. quota3 = maildir:Public quota:ns=newsletters/
4. quota3_rule = *:storage=100M

Thanks again.

OK thanks just one last query, would the quota rule be something like this? quota_rule2 = Public*:storage=100M

=========== namespace public { prefix = shared. separator = . (...) } dict { quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf } quota = dict:INBOX::proxy::quotadict quota2 = dict:shared:%d:ns=shared.:proxy::quotadict quota_rule = *:storage=50M:messages=1000 quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=50M:messages=100 quota2_rule = *:storage=100M:messages=1000

this currently works - you must use the prefix of the namespace as parameter in the quota-definition.
