<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Timo,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>When you have time to create the hooks to the various locations within dovecot, I am willing to try to make a module to support Maildir quota's. Would that be possible with the hooks, and can that be done using a plugin as well?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Kind regards,</FONT>
