a) You need the workaround patch I posted earlier to have QUOTA in the
   capability string (pending a better way for plugins to hook into the
   capability command handler)

b) our /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf contains the line:

user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory,mailStoreDirectory,,,,mailQuota=quota

It's that last part that is significant - it ties Dovecot's internal
QUOTA environmental variable to the mailQuota LDAP attribute, which
then looks like this:

mailQuota: dirsize:/var/mailstore/bob at example.com/:storage=102400

These aren't standard attribute names, by the way - they're from a 
private enterprise schema.

anyway, hth.

Joshua.
