dovecot - Sep 2003 - feature request: maildirquota

Hope maildirquota++ is soon supported, without it, dovecot is useless in my
use (mail hosting with maildirquotas).

Also QUOTA cabability in dovecot is needed to get to use my webmail plugins
that use
a001 CAPABILITY to get quota support. Courier imapd supports this.

--snippet from quota usage plugin to squirrelmail--
   function sqimap_get_quota ($imap_stream, $mailbox) {
      if (check_quota_capability($imap_stream, "QUOTA")) {
        fputs ($imap_stream, "a001 GETQUOTAROOT
\"$mailbox\"\r\n");
        $read_ary = sqimap_read_data ($imap_stream, 'a001', true,
$result,
            $message);
        for ($i = 0; $i < count($read_ary); $i++) {
            if (ereg("STORAGE", $read_ary[$i])) {
                $tempusage = ereg_replace("^.*[(]STORAGE +(.*)[)].*$",
"\\1",
                    $read_ary[$i]);
                $usagearray = explode(" ", $tempusage);
                return $usagearray[0].":".$usagearray[1];
            }
        }
      }
      return "NOQUOTA";
   }

   function check_quota_capability($imap_stream, $capability) {
        global $imap_general_debug;

        fputs ($imap_stream, "a001 CAPABILITY\r\n");
        $read_ary = sqimap_read_data($imap_stream, 'a001', true, $a,
$b);

        for($i = 0; $i < count($read_ary); $i++) {
            if (ereg("QUOTA", $read_ary[$i]))
                return TRUE;
        }
        return false;

    }

-- end snippet--

I don't really have plans to write quota support before 1.0. It will be
done via plugin anyway (which can be compiled into binary), and it's
already possible to write such plugin for CVS Dovecot. Or almost,
there's a small problem with calculating quota correctly when saving new
mails via IMAP, but that will be fixed hopefully sooner than later :)

There's an example quota plugin if someone wants to write the real
thing. Just fill the i_warning() calls with real quota calculations:
