And in particular, you want to look at src/plugins/quota/quota-maildir.c

Thanks ! I don't know if there's documentation about dovecot's
design as a whole, not the details of the plugin itself, to get the big picture
? I assume the plugins are loaded in a loop at dovecot startup, or at login, or
when mail is delivered via lda/lmtp ? in the particular case of the quota plugin
I assume the quota functions are called from? LMTPD (since this is how I
configured postfix to talk to dovecot) ? should I look in LMTPD's source
code to find the function that calls the plugin ?

? -- Yassine.
