dovecot - Sep 2006 - quota plugin enhancement request

Hi am having a small issue with the quota plugin

In Squirrelmail when a message is deleted, it seems to be copied to the 
Trash folder *before* it is deleted from the current folder. However if 
it is a large message being deleted and the mailbox is close to its 
quota limit, it means dovecot will deny the copy operation as the quota 
will be exceeded if the message is copied

Because of this, I am wondering if it is possible to have an option for 
the quota plugin to track, but not enforce the quota.  This is because I 
don't require quota enforcement on IMAP, as Postfix will enforce quota 
on incoming mail anyway.

I hope this makes sense...

I explored almost the same issue with Dovecot / Squirrelmail a few 
weeks back in the thread,

  Dovecot - Issue with Maildir++ quotas

and found a very useful page,

  http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/DisableTrashcan

also see the rest of the above thread for some more angles on this.

Best regards,
