Hi,

I have setup a shared namespace to expose user's mailboxes to other users. That works well. Via ACLs users can access other users mailboxes.

I have setup a quota for each user, that works well, too. The quota is tracked and new messages are denied, if the quota is exceeded. I do not find hints, if you need to setup something special for shared namespaces. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration shows how to track the quota and http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared shows how to setup the namespace and ACL.

If user1 shares "mailbox" to user2 and user2 copies a message there, the quota is tracked in the quota of user1 correctly.

But to calculate if

• LOGIN user2 ...
• COPY 1 users.user1.mailbox

fails with overquota or succeed, the quota limit of user2 is used instead of the quota of user1, whom "mailbox" belongs to.

I have tested it with a. limit(user2) < limit(user1) b. quota(user1) + sizeof(message) < limit(user1) if quota(user1) + sizeof(message) > limit(user2), COPY fails with overquota. If I raise the quota of user2, the COPY succeeds.

That means, although the target user's quota is not exceeded and won't after the copy, COPY fails. That seems to be wrong for me.

The same will apply to the other way round, I guess: If the target user is over quota, but copying user's quota limit is greater than that, the COPY succeeds. [I have not tested it.] Hence, if you enable sharing, you undermine quota, because the other user can copy messages into a mailbox of an user overquota.

Does other people see the same issue?
