dovecot - Jan 2013 - warning regarding quota and mboxes

Hello!

We drive mboxes and maildirs and the dovecot-server is running very well and
everthing is fine, but I get the following warning in the dovecot-lda-errors.log
when a mail is delivered to a mbox.

Jan 10 16:29:24 lda(archiv at bitcorner.de): Warning: quota: Namespace
'' is not Maildir, skipping for Maildir++ quota

This is what I defined in the dovecot.conf:

mail_home = /var/spool/vhosts/%d/%n
mail_location = mbox:~/:maildir:~/
mail_plugins = quota

plugin {
    quota = maildir:User quota
    quota_rule = *:storage=500MB
    quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%%
}

Can I avoid the error above somehow? Namespaces are a bit mysterious for
me at the moment.

Greetings

  Andreas

How is that setting even working? You're using some early v2.0? It's
supposed to fail:

Error: user x: Initialization failed: Namespace '': Unknown setting:
maildir

Maildir++ quota works only when delivering to Maildir. If you want to
use some quota backend that works with both mboxes and maildirs, you
could use dict file: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict
