Both Test 1 and Test 2 disconnected me immediately after login with error:

At the same time log shows:

Grandy

mmmh...

so you are using:

plugin { quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/var/mail quota2 = fs:home:noenforcing:mount=/home/h1 }

but "fs:home:noenforcing:mount=/home/h1" will not work and you just added it do make "fs:INBOX:mount=/var/mail" work? Maybe it's worth to have a closer look to this first:

Test 1)

Use:

plugin { quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/var/mail #quota2 = fs:home:noenforcing:mount=/home/h1 }

What output generates:

telnet <your-imp-server> 143

• login <your-login-name> <your-password>
• getguotaroot "INBOX"
• getquotaroot "Trash" . logout

Test 2)

Use:

plugin { quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/var/mail #quota2 = fs:home:noenforcing:mount=/home/h1 }

What output generates:

telnet <your-imp-server> 143

• login <your-login-name> <your-password>
• getguotaroot "INBOX"
• getquotaroot "Trash" . logout

Test 3) Use:

plugin { quota = fs:INBOX:mount=/var/mail quota2 = fs:home:noenforcing:mount=/home/h1 }

What output generates:

telnet <your-imp-server> 143

• login <your-login-name> <your-password>
• getguotaroot "INBOX"
• getquotaroot "Trash" . logout

BTW: I've you don't like to send your password unencrypted use this instead of 'telnet <your-imp-server> 143':

openssl s_client -connect <your-imp-server>:993
