I set "quota: fs:INBOX:noenforcing:mount=/var/spool/mail", but receive: "fs quota add storage dir = /home/pit/mail"... Why ?

Well .. I'm not entirely sure if the current behavior is good or not, but what you need to do to get it working is to add two quota roots. One for /home/pit/mail (i.e. without specifying mount=) and another for the INBOX's /var/spool/mail.

Don't work... :-(
