[Dovecot] how to setup different quota for multiple namespaces

Hello all,

I am using dovecot for some time now but always had very basic
configurations. I recently have configured a new, additional namespace
in order to move archived mails (Thunderbird Archives) to another
storage system.

namespace {
  type = private
  separator = .
  prefix = Archives.
  location = maildir:/var/vmail/archive/%Ln/Maildir
  subscriptions = yes
  list = children
  inbox = no
}

This works well but unfortunately I cannot find a solution to either
ignore this new namespace from quota computation or add a separate quota
value for it.

I have integrated user authentication with LDAP and fetch some user
attributes from LDAP entries:

user_attrs
=home=/var/vmail/%Ln/Maildir,=mail=maildir:/var/vmail/%Ln/Maildir/,otherPager=quota_rule=*:storage=%$

I configured the quota plugin in the following way:

plugin {
        quota = maildir:User quota:ns        quota2 = maildir:Archive
quota:ns=Archives.
        quota_rule = *:storage=1G
        quota_rule2 = ns=Archives.:ignore
}

unfortunately this does not give the desired result. Folders under the
Archives namespace use the same quota as INBOX.


Does anyone have an idea how to fix this ?

Thank you for your kind help

> Hello all,

I have just realized, that my quota config actually works when using the
"ignore" directive, but I am unable to set a separate quota (for
example
10G) for the Archives. namespace.

I have tried with:

quota_rule2 = ns=Archives.:storage=10G

but this raises an error message in the logfile:

Jan  9 11:30:01 mail01 dovecot: imap: Debug: Added userdb setting:

Jan  9 11:30:01 mail01 dovecot: imap: Debug: Quota root: name=Archive
quota backend=maildir args=ns=Archives.


If I add the '+' the error message will not come up again, but when
checkinig the quota value for the folders under the Archives. namespace
I still get the quota size for the Inbox namespace.

Thank you for your kind help

If I understand the Wiki correctly, you need to write:

         quota2_rule = *:storage=10G

The "quota2"_rule# settings apply to the "quota2" root by
namespace. Whereas the "quota"_rule# settings apply to the default,
the
first quota root.

thank you for the information. I will try to setup the quota rule the
way you have proposed. I will report the results when I have time to
test it.

Thank you for your fast response.

Hello Steffen,

unfortunately this does not work. when I configure it the way you have
proposed the 10G quote will be assigned to the base namespace (INBOX)
the Archives namespace has no quota assigned.

I have changed my quota config in every way that came to my mind but
did not manage to get the result I want to achieve. I would like to have
LDAP provided quota for INBOX ( this part is working) and a completely
separate 10G quota for the Archives namespace.

Is it actually possible to have separated quotas for multiple private
namespaces with dovecot (2.1.7)?

Thank you for your kind help.

does nobody have a similar setup ? Is this the wrong way to implement this ?

I tried this setup:

namespace {
   type = private
   separator = .
   prefix = Archive.
   location = mdbox:/home/%u/archive
   #subscriptions = no
   #list = children
}

plugin {
   quota = dict:User quota::proxy::quota
   quota2 = dict:Archive quota:ns=Archive.:proxy::quota
   quota2_rule = *:storage=1048576
}

telnet localhost 143
1 login .. ..
2 list "" *
* LIST (\HasNoChildren \Sent) "." "Sent"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren \Trash) "." "Trash"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren \Junk) "." "Junk"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren \Drafts) "." "Drafts"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "INBOX"
* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "." "Archive"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "." "Archive.Test"
2 OK List completed.
2 getquotaroot ""
* QUOTAROOT "" "User quota" "Archive quota"
* QUOTA "User quota" (STORAGE 259 7540259)
* QUOTA "Archive quota" (STORAGE 2109 1048576)
2 OK Getquotaroot completed.

So the configuration is running in Dovecot v2.1.13. The value of "User 
quota" comes from LDAP. What I did not tested was, if the quota is 
actually calculated and tracked in the database.

Kind regards,

Hello Steffen,

thank you for creating a test setup. I will try to implement it the way
you did it, but I will stay with maildir.

Meanwhile I have recognized another issue, this time with our webmail
system (roundcube). It seems that it is not able to handle multiple
namespaces so I might need to stay with the single private namespance setup.

Thank you very much for your kind help.

best regards

try upgrade roundcube with reconfigure

some issues with namespace were solved
http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1486796
http://trac.roundcube.net/attachment/ticket/1486796/imap_namespace.patch

however i am not sure if that fixes your special problem

I just saw on important difference in the doc and this configuration:

see 
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration#Quota_for_public_namespaces

the ns=name syntax is for _public_ namespaces only. I just tested it with 
this setup and every message is counted for both namespaces, if delivered 
into INBOX or a mailbox of the Archive namespace.

Hello Steffen,

thanks again for testing. I also did some tests but had no luck so far.
I guess it is not possible to have different quotas for multiple private
namespaces.

It should work for all namespaces.

That should work? Worked at least in latest v2.1 hg.

> Hello Timo,

thank you for your reply. I am using dovecot 2.1.7 (Ubuntu 12.10) and
have tried to configure a separate quote root for a second private
namespace without any success. The only working option is to
ignore/disable quota for the second namespace:


}
namespace inbox {
  hidden = no
  ignore_on_failure = no
  inbox = yes
  list = yes
  location   prefix   separator = /
  subscriptions = yes
  type = private
}

namespace {
  hidden = no
  ignore_on_failure = no
  inbox = no
  list = children
  location = maildir:/var/vmail/archives/%n/Maildir
  prefix = Archives/
  separator = /
  subscriptions = yes
  type = private
}



plugin {
        quota = maildir:User quota:ns        quota2 = maildir:Archives
quota:ns=Archives/
        quota_rule = *:storage=1G
        quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+200M
        quota_rule3 = ns=Archives/:ignore
}


If I try to enter something like:

 quota_rule3 = ns=Archives/:storage=10G

I will get an error message saying that this is deprecated and needs to
be replaced by "+10G".

best regards

> Hello Timo,

I have created some DEB packages for Ubuntu with dovecot version 2.1.13
but this version shows the same behavior. Do I have to configure quota
like Steffen did with:

quota2 = dict:Archive quota::ns=Archive/:proxy::quota

Thank you for your kind help.

best regards

Andreas
