Hmm. This happens because POP3 doesn't ask for the limit at any point.
Dovecot just thinks that if the maildirsize file doesn't exist, why
bother creating it since it can be left to be done later when something
actually wants to know the quota.

But I guess it should do the extra work anyway..:

prefetch is never called with this setup. You should put it before the
userdb sql.
