[Dovecot] Quota for Shared Folders

Or the local quota was exceeded too, so the mail was deferred anyway.

this works really great, I only needed to figure out the right 
namespace-setting: it must match the "prefix"-definition in the 
namespace, so with "prefix = shared." (courier-migration) it has to be 
"ns=shared.". The quotadict also reports diskusage really fast to the 
database, with the right amounts for the shared quotas.


imap_quota shows shared quotas too, thunderbird displays a nice 
percentage-graph with different local and shared-values.


thanks for the really fast response and implementation!


best regards,

Anton
