[Dovecot] Well, "Hard filesystem quota can also be problematic"

[Stewart Dean]

We do...otherwise, there's the inevitable 'Tragedy of the Commons'...to 
say nothing of idiots mailing MB files to everybody in the community. 
And we're still on UW IMAP and the one-big-file INBOX which is a horror 
show when it gets big.

lack of quota compatibility is a migration to Dovecote show-stopper for 
us.
