I had some problems to implement this and here follows my config file to help you.

I've configured quota information in my ldap server, but in my config file I kept local quota configuration (commented):

/etc/dovecot.conf

protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s ssl_disable = no ssl_cert_file = /usr/share/ssl/certs/cert.pem ssl_key_file = /usr/share/ssl/private/key.pem mail_extra_groups = mail valid_chroot_dirs = ~vmail/domains default_mail_env = maildir:~vmail/domains/%d/%n/mail::INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n lock_method = dotlock mmap_disable = yes auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes first_valid_uid = 100 last_valid_uid = 100 first_valid_gid = 101 last_valid_gid = 101 maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = no disable_plaintext_auth = no protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota } protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv mail_plugins = quota } auth default_with_listener { mechanisms = plain login userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = vmail group = mail } } } plugin {

quota = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u/mail:storage=102400

    convert_mail = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u/mail

#quota = maildir:storage=102400 quota = maildir }

Hope this helps you. And an advise, use the latest stable release :) http://www.dovecot.org/download.html not the release candidate.

hi....

i using dovecot 1.0rc26 and i started to configure quota plugin but i think its not working fine. i configure like suggested in http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota

in dovecot.conf:

protocol imap { mail_plugins = quota imap_quota }

plugin {

10 MB quota limit

quota = maildir:storage=10240 }

in dovecot-ldap.conf:

user_attrs = homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid,quotaStorage=quota

if a mua send a attach near 9MB i receive a message tell me that the server don't have more space, but if i attach files of 2MB this messages are sending ok, and the cur directory of this user have 15 MB.

another question: in ldap entry, the attribute quota are the attibute that A represents the quota on a mailbox, ¿so why i put 10MB as limit?

uota = maildir:storage=10240

¿this value is for all "entryes" or the quota limit is the entry quota limit?

i you can see, i not understand how dovecot works with the attribute quota in ldap entry; ¿can anybody explain me this?

Thanks in advance!!!
