Hello guys,

Firstly I would like to state that I am fairly new to Dovecot. I have played around with it in the past here and there but mainly with debian packages. I have compiled this version of Dovecot from source, so please go easy with me.

Ok now down to my questions: I am having trouble getting Dovecot to 'ignore' the Trash folder when summing up the used quota for a user.

I am running Dovecot 1.2.11 (with LDA), Postfix 2.5.5, and Postfixadmin 2.3. I am able to send and receive emails fine. Roundcube displays the quota used but this quota also counts what is in the users Trash can. Postfix is configured to hand over delivering of the mail to Dovecot.

I have tried different methods from the documentation on ignoring the Trash folder, but have not come up with anything that has worked yet.

If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

I apologise now if I have not included all required information, I did read the mailing list guidelines and believe I have follow all required steps.
