[Dovecot] maildri++ quota
When is the maildir quota usages recalculated and written to the second line of the "maildirsize" file?
I'm using 1.1.4, and I reset the quotas for my users by just taking the first line of their maildirsize file and deleting the rest.

Are the quotas wrong often? Dovecot uses the Maildir++ quota specifications: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html
So the file is recalculated if it's
a) >= file is 5120 bytes
b) file is older than 15 mins and it contains more than two lines (header + the first value line)

That doesn't seem to work then.

Totally off. The recalculation after 15m doesn't work at all

How about 15.000? My users get a lot of mail. All I see is NO update to the maildrisize file AFTER 24h!!!

Let me rephrase this. No update to the SUM in the 2nd line after 15m
I sent 100 Mails to an account, the "maildirsize"-file-lenght based recalculation seems to work

Same problem to me... :(
What can be the problem?

What I'm seeeing is this:
- people are (according to deliver & imap) over quota
- when I check the maildirsite file I see stuff like
744288000S 788888182 4815 -200635743 -15 -100099910 -14
Which - to me - means: Their limit is
744288000S they HAD 788888182S but removed 29 Mails with about 300000000S and should now be WELL below quota

If this people are extraterrestrial or an ancient mainframe-team of IBM (the difference is not that big), and they then try to build a Unix, you will get a AIX 2 and 3 - a hybride monster with green blood which will not kill you maybe, but when you look at the innwards you wish you where dead afterwards.

So the problem isn't really that the quota isn't recalculated / second line isn't updated, but that the existing values in maildirsize aren't summed up correctly?
How long have you been using Maildir++ quota? Has it been broken the entire time?
What does "GETQUOTAROOT INBOX" say with such a maildirsize file as you gave above? I just tried and it works correctly:
- QUOTA "" (STORAGE 476711 726843)

Aha!
