[Dovecot] Dict quota timeout error: Has anything changed in the latest versions?

Hi,

I'm using dict quota with mysql for track them via SQL query instead of 
read maildirsize file. Primary quota and enforcing is provided via 
userdb and is "maildir" type.

Since dovecot 2.1.10-13 (but perhaps even before) when a new user log in 
via POP/IMAP or receive an email for the first time dovecot created the 
entry for the users in the table "quota" of dovecot database with
quota
usage and number of messages (before of this login/delivery the user has 
no entry in the quota table of dovecot DB).

After the update to 2.1.14 when a new user login or receive an email for 
the first time dovecot was unable to create (immediately) the entry in 
quota table and in the log print these errors:

After 3 minutes of wait in the mysql database dovecot insert the entry

Errors like

Error: read(/usr/local/dovecot-2.1/var/run/dovecot/dict) failed: Timeout 
after 30 seconds

were present also before the upgrade but they were occasional, now I had 
to disable "dict quota".

Can this be fixed?

My dovecot configuration:

Anyone have this problem?

Timo, can be fixed by creating the entry in the Dict database 
immediately (when is not already present) instead of wait the timeout 
seven time?

Thanks

I don't see any recent changes in this code, so I think it has been broken
for a long time. Anyway, this fixes it:
