Hi!

If you are using dovecot v2.2.19 or later, we recommend

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins quota # quota_clone

plugin  {
  quota = count:User quota
  ## if you need to store it in some sql or something
  #quota_clone_dict = proxy::database
  quota_vsizes = true
}


See https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Count and
https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/QuotaClone

Advantage of quota clone is that it keeps quota tracking in index files
and does not require dicts or any external files.
