Hy I use dovecot with quota support. I did a test with a webmail client (roundcube) & quota= 10 M when I have used 100% of the quota assigned to the mail account , I cannot delete any mail Is it possible to create a kind of warning mail about 80% of quota use or overpass quota for delete operations?

You can set an extra quota to Trash folder to prevent this from happening. For example adding to the plugin{} configuration:

quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=102400

you will get an extra 100MB of quota usable for Trash.

This only works in 1.0 with the quota-rewrite patch:
