Don't know if anyone else uses Berkeley derived filesystem quota, but
IBM's AIX does. A little over a week after migrating from UWIMAP to DC
(with mbox format unchanged) everything is clean except for this one
problem:
When users go over quota, when they login the next time, the folder list
is blank. You can imagine the panicked calls to the Helpdesk. If their
quotas are raised or re-graced, Get Mail returns the expected list. This
behavior happens with a variety of clients: Pine, MacMail,TBird, Horde
Webmail, etc.
The index filesystem has no quota on it.
I would have to imagine the Dovecot is using (or trying to use) some
space in the quota'ed filesystems which the operating system won't
allow, and this results in there being an empty file that DC uses for
the message list sent to the client. There are NO messages in syslog
(other than the expected login and logout) indicating any problems. Our
legacy setup has the inboxes in /var/spool/mail, and the folders in
~/mail. The problem can happen either place.
dovecot -n returns:

Suggestions?
