I think proper support for this comes after v1.0, but for now you should
be able to kludge this.

Dovecot's quota code currently supports only one namespace. So create
two namespaces: the first one only for INBOX and the second containing
the rest of the folders. So something like:

namespace private {
  location = mbox:/var/lib/dovecot/empty-non-writable-dir:INBOX=/var/mail/%u:INDEX=%h/mail
  prefix = #inboxonly
  inbox = yes
  hidden = yes
}

namespace private {
  inbox = no
  prefix = 
}
