[Dovecot] quota with sendmail and dovecot
I have a problem with dovecot and quotas
I don't want quota in INBOX with sendmail (mbox), it's work ok. Sendmail can put the new messages in INBOX although exceed the quota limit.
I have two namespace in dovecot: namespace private { separator = / inbox = yes prefix = "#mbox/" location = mbox:/Public/Maildir/%n_mbox_indexes:INBOX=/var/mail/%n } namespace private { separator = / prefix = "" location = maildir:/Public/Maildir/%n }
I have this quota: plugin { quota = maildir:storage=10240 }
It's work ok, i have 10 MB in INBOX and i have 10 MB in maildir. My clients are Mozilla Thunderbird
My problem: when Sendmail put one new message in INBOX, Thunderbird see it, but the quota don't change. I think that when dovecot do a full sync it must update the quota.

Two reasons why it doesn't work:
Maildir quota backend doesn't work with mboxes at all
Quota plugin doesn't currently support multiple namespaces, won't be fixed before v1.0.
Couldn't you just use maildir for INBOX as well, and just not make Sendmail use the maildir quota?
