[Dovecot] different users with different quota
Hello,
How can one assign different users different Quota? So properly?
quota_rule1 = userONE:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=100M quota_rule3 = SPAM:ignore
quota_rule4 = userTWO:storage=5M quota_rule5 = Trash:storage=50M quota_rule6 = SPAM:ignore
and so on ... Right or how?

No, totally wrong, sorry.

Have you read <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration> and <http://wiki2.dovecot.org/UserDatabase/ExtraFields>?
How your different user quotas are configured depends on the userdb backend you use.

Have you read<http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration> and
This link alone would have been a sufficient answer to your question.
This could be undoubtedly counted as spoon feeding.
Jim, RTFM!

PAM is no userdb: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/PAM
"Usually PAM is used with passwd (NSS) or static user databases." is a direct quote from this link and should tell you which example to follow in Sven's links.

ok, than
plugin { quota = maildir:UserONE quota quota_rule = *:storage=1G quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=100M quota = maildir:UserTWO quota quota_rule = *:storage=5M quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=50M }

The key is to not only read the manual but to understand, too.

Prove that you actually read and at least try to understand the directions we give you. Until now you stated a bad idea, answer a question without thought and repeated your bad idea. To top it you tried an ignorant joke and ask us to read the wiki to you.
Have a look at Eric Raymonds How To Ask Questions The Smart Way: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html particularly http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#homework and http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#rtfm.

You should answer questions. They are usually not asked out of the blue.

Umm.
Think logical for a moment: Would such a configuration scale to 10 users? 100 users? 10000 users?
No, it would not. So without knowing if this _could_ work, you can outright deduce this one as wrong.
Ask yourself one question:
a) "Do I have different quota_rules for my users?" b) "Are my quota_rules the same for every user?"
If a) then you need to setup a userdb with this information in it (This is documented in the wiki for a text-, LDAP- any SQL-based one, with the LDAP-based one being a bit strange to configure, but I asked a question concerning the syntax not long ago, so the archive is your friend.)
If b) then you can hardcode your quota_rule inside the config, just as you are trying to do.
I would suggest to start with b) and if this works, _then_ work your way up to a).
Hardcoding a "fall back" quota_rule inside the config has also the added benefit of, well, having a fall back, in case the quote inside your userdb is not set for a user.
