hi all,

i'm using dovecot deliver (lda) and i want to show quota to the users
via imap/pop3, but i don't want to enforce it (i.e. don't
reject/bounce mails when quota is exceeded).

protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = quota } # In case you're using deliver: protocol lda { #mail_plugins = quota }

does it work if i just comment out the "mail_plugin = quota" in the
protocol lda section and leave the imap/pop3 configuration or is there
another better way to do this?

When you only disable the quota plugin in the lda section, then quota values will be updated on imap/pop3 login. If a user reaches her/his quota limit, he/she will no longer be able to move messages from one folder to an other one.

If you would have provided the necessary information, I probably could provide an appropriate solution. But my crystal ball told me that you are using SQL based quotas. so replace:

quota = dict:user::proxy::quotadict

by: quota = dict:user::noenforcing:proxy::quotadict

In order to prevent mail bounces (while enforcing the quota rules) you can set quota_full_tempfail to yes in protocol lda {…} section.
