Having configured these quotas in Dovecot, I notice that Dovecot appears not to exclude the 'Trash' folder from its quota calculation (which it should do, according to the Maildir++ spec).

Well, I don't agree with Maildir++ spec in here since Dovecot doesn't do automatic cleaning of Trash.

For Dovecot v1.1 you can configure quota separately for different mailboxes:

Quota limits are set using "quota_rule" parameters, either in here or in

userdb. It's also possible to give mailbox-specific limits, for example:

quota_rule = *:storage=1048576

quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=102400

User has now 1GB quota, but when saving to Trash mailbox the user gets

additional 100MB.

It also contains expire plugin:

Expire plugin. Mails are expunged from mailboxes after being there the

configurable time. The first expiration date for each mailbox is stored in

a dictionary so it can be quickly determined which mailboxes contain

expired mails. The actual expunging is done in a nightly cronjob, which

you must set up:

dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool

#expire = Trash 7 Spam 30 #expire_dict = db:/var/lib/dovecot/expire.db
