First of all:

doveconf -n

grep -v '^ *\(#.*\)\?$' dovecot-ldap.conf.ext uris = ldap://localhost dn = cn=phamm,o=hosting,dc=example,dc=com dnpass = ops auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3 base = o=hosting,dc=example,dc=com deref = never user_attrs = quota=quota_rule=*:bytes=%$ user_filter = (&(objectClass=VirtualMailAccount)(accountActive=TRUE)(mail=%u)) pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password pass_filter = (&(objectClass=VirtualMailAccount)(accountActive=TRUE)(mail=%u))

And at the end the problem that i see on log:

Oct 27 20:42:36 mail dovecot: imap: Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules Oct 27 20:42:36 mail dovecot: imap: Debug: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lib10_quota_plugin.so Oct 27 20:42:36 mail dovecot: imap: Debug: Added userdb setting: plugin/quota_rule=*:bytes=20971520S Oct 27 20:42:36 mail dovecot: imap(ops@klez.it): Debug: Effective uid=1001, gid=1001, home= Oct 27 20:42:36 mail dovecot: imap(ops@klez.it): Debug: Quota root: name=User quota backend=maildir args= Oct 27 20:42:36 mail dovecot: imap(ops@klez.it): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=20971520 messages=0 Oct 27 20:42:36 mail dovecot: imap(ops@klez.it): Error: user ops@klez.it: Initialization failed: Failed to initialize quota: Invalid quota root quota: Invalid rule *:bytes=20971520S: Invalid rule limit value 'bytes=20971520S': Unknown unit: S Oct 27 20:42:36 mail dovecot: imap(ops@klez.it): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information.

I cant understand this 2 line:

Oct 27 20:42:36 mail dovecot: imap(ops@klez.it): Debug: Quota rule: root=User quota mailbox=* bytes=20971520 messages=0

Oct 27 20:42:36 mail dovecot: imap(ops@klez.it): Error: user ops@klez.it: Initialization failed: Failed to initialize quota: Invalid quota root quota: Invalid rule *:bytes=20971520S: Invalid rule limit value 'bytes=20971520S': Unknown unit: S

This is a situation that I want to migrate from courier to dovecot.. I see this post http://y6.gl/nnheTd that seems to have my problem. Could you help me to prepare a working conf? So I can write a simple doc for this? TIA
