dovecot - Oct 2009 - Public Folder Quotas

Hi All

I'm really busy adding features to dovecot running on my dev box to
later move into prod. I saw where public mailbox quotas was added to
1.2 Does anyone have this working? I haven't been able to find docs on
that as of yet.

I suppose you mean something like:

namespace public {
  prefix = Public/
  ..
}

quota = ..
quota2 = maildir:Public quota:ns=Public/

This creates a separate shared quota for all mailboxes in Public/
namespace. I've no idea if it really works, but the code is there. Let
me know if it doesn't. :)

We have this running in exactly that way.

it does work :)


At least, with my tests at the beginning: public quota of 1kb, now a 
move of a local mail to the shared namespace fails, RoundCube and 
Thunderbird show the correct message. Customers didn't complain after 
the dovecot 1.2.6-upgrade, so I assume it's still working.

And, even more: ThunderBird (also with raw IMAP) show the shared quota 
as being different than the local quota.



best regards,

Anton

==========namespace public {
         prefix = shared.
         separator = .
(...)
}
dict {
   quotadict = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-quota.conf
   expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-expire.conf
}
   quota = dict:INBOX::proxy::quotadict
   quota2 = dict:shared:%d:ns=shared.:proxy::quotadict
   quota_rule = *:storage=50M:messages=1000
   quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=50M:messages=100
   quota2_rule = *:storage=100M:messages=1000
==========
this currently works - you must use the prefix of the namespace as 
parameter in the quota-definition.
