It looks to me after setting the mail_debug=yes in the dovecot.conf quota is looking for the maildir to be Maildir

...

(/home/superuser/Maildir, rwx). my install has mailboxes listed as mail>> /home/superuser/mail ( not Maildir) How do i comment the quota to make a directive to correct this? maildir=mail >>not mail=Maildir
