[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.15 quota configuration with mbox
Hello,
I've been trying to set up dovecot 2.0.15, everything seems to work pretty well except for the quota feature. I would like to set a quota limit only for the Inbox folder. I configured two namespaces, according to some posts from Timo Sirainen (http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-July/014530.html) & (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-January/056131.html) but I can't configure the quota plugin to act the way I pretend.
Here's my namespace configuration:
namespace { separator = / prefix = INBOX/ location = mbox:/var/empty:INBOX=/mail/%d/%n:INDEX=/var/dovecot/%d/%n inbox = yes hidden = yes }
namespace { separator = / prefix = inbox = no location = mbox:/mail/%d/MAILBOXES/%n:INDEX=/var/dovecot/%d/%n }
Quota config:
plugin { quota = dirsize:User quota
# I've tried with:
quota_rule = INBOX:storage=819200K
quota_rule = INBOX/*:storage=819200K
quota_rule = INBOX/Inbox:storage=819200K
# Works with:
quota_rule = *:storage=819200K
quota_rule = ?:storage=819200K (Same behavior as '*')}
Using '*' and '?', is the only way I get it to work, but obviously, quota is calculated summing up all the mailbox folders. I don't know what else to change, any ideas? Is the two namespace configuration correct?
Thanks in advance.

This limits the quota only to mailboxes in INBOX/ namespace.

Quota rules don't work in this way. There are no per-mailbox quotas really, at least in the way you're thinking about.

Actually I forgot to mention that I also tried that, but I got the following error:
Error: Initialization failed: Failed to initialize quota: Quota root User quota: Unknown parameter for backend dirsize: ns=INBOX/
That's why I was trying to change quota settings by using the quota_rule directive.
This limits the quota only to mailboxes in INBOX/ namespace.

I see, I guess they're per-namespace quotas, right? I got the wrong idea after watching the following, which was exactly what I wanted to do :p
quota_rule = <mailbox name>:<limit configuration>
May be that, using dirsize backend lets you no other option than calculating quota for the whole user's mailbox?

Oh. Yeah, dirsize backend doesn't have all the features that other backends have, because it's so little used. You could switch to dict file quota..
