dovecot - Jun 2004 - 2 problems

Hi all, im testing dovecot as a replacement imap server and noticed 2
problems in 0.99.10.5.

if you use dovecot/pop on an account who's quota is fully used, dovecot will
ungracefully stop. This will only happen when the account is first
accessed by dovecot (for instance, when offering IMAP to an existing
userbase using dovecot, or when the index files have inadvertently been
deleted).

+OK dovecot ready.
user scorpio
+OK
pass xxxxxxxx
+OK Logged in.
Connection closed by foreign host.


The same goes for imap:

* OK dovecot ready.
. login "scorpio" "xxxxxxx"
. OK Logged in.
. select INBOX
. NO Out of disk space


This is a bit of a problem because one of the remedies of solving an out
of disk space problem is deleting email, which you cant now.

Out of quota isn't handled too well if it happens for indexes or
dovecot-uidlist file. Best way to get it working now would be to place
them in different partition without quota with INDEX and CONTROL
settings in default_mail_env.

For 1.0 I'll try to get it working much better, but there's still some
unsolvable(?) theoretical problems if dovecot-uidlist file can't be
updated (how do you make sure same UID won't be given twice for
different messages, if you can't save the UIDs between sessions?).
