Actually I forgot to mention that I also tried that, but I got the 
following error:

Error: Initialization failed: Failed to initialize quota: Quota root 
User quota: Unknown parameter for backend dirsize: ns=INBOX/

That's why I was trying to change quota settings by using the quota_rule 
directive.

I see, I guess they're per-namespace quotas, right? I got the wrong idea 
after watching the following, which was exactly what I wanted to do :p

quota_rule = <mailbox name>:<limit configuration>

May be that, using dirsize backend lets you no other option than 
calculating quota for the whole user's mailbox?
