Timo, is this a bug? Is it planned to be fixed? What about the first
time dovecot creates a maildir, will it also create the maildirsize
file if the quota plugin is loaded?

Can I just touch the file, and allow dovecot to fill it in? I'm
returning the quota size from database, why then does it need to be in
the maildirsize file?

When I get back onto the server, I'll have a play around and see if I
can work it out. I'm looking at deploying this system for ~10,000
users, so don't want to have to write scripts to create that many
maildirsize files, when dovecot will happily create their maildirs for
me.

I'll give it a try. Thanks Bill.
