I suppose you will require file system quota here.
Or you store the extra-data via IMAP. :-)
Taking a stab from the non-IMAP side: How shall the limit be enforced
when the other data is storred?

Do you have:

a) system users
b) quota initialized on the file system (quotaon)
c) quota database updated (quotacheck)
d) quota assigned to an user (quota -v user, edquota user, quotatool)

You have just one quota, configure Dovecot to use just the fs quota.

Read the mail archive about NFS quota, I remember some glitches.
