[Dovecot] Quota less mailbox with mdbox

[Héctor Moreno Blanco]

Good morning everyone,

I have a little doubt about setting a quotaless mailbox with mdbox.

Currently we have dovecot 2.0.10 with Maildir as mailbox system. We want to migrate to mdbox.

The migration is simple and easy, but there are some configuration settings we cannot set to work properly.

In our dovecot with Maildir we have the namespace INBOX with certain quota and another one without quota. This is working like a charm.

Dovecot.conf:

...
namespace {
  separator = .
  prefix =
  inbox = yes
  type = private
}
namespace {
  inbox = no
  location =
  prefix = INBOX.
  separator = .
  hidden = yes
  type = private
  list = no
}
namespace {
  location = maildir:%h/Maildir/_backup
  prefix = _backup.
  separator = .
  type = private
}
...
plugin/quota = maildir:_backup:ns=
...


Dovecot-ldap.conf:

...
pass_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(uid=%u)(accountActive=TRUE))
pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$

user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home, mailQuotaSize=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$
user_filter = (&(objectClass=qmailUser)(|(mailAlternateAddress=%u)(mail=%u)(uid=%u))(accountActive=TRUE))
...



When migrated to mdbox and changing the configuration, we don't know how to get it work. We have also tried to follow the instructions from the wiki of dovecot2 without success.

Could anyone give us a clue please?

If additional information is needed, please let me know.


Thank you very much in advanced.

Kind regards.
