If I remember right, this is a known issue, where Mail.app won't

here as it seems to be a Mail.app issue.
That's my guess as well, but after checking another IMAP server
(Communigate Pro), it returns a filled in string as well (#Account).
I don't have any UW-imap servers to touch, though :(
So, Courier-IMAP and Communigate Pro both return a filled in string
(though values are different), and Dovecot does not.
<back to RFC hunting>
What's to hunt?
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2087#section-4.3
RFC 2087 is the IMAP4 QUOTA extension. Section 4.3 has a pretty clear
example of a GETQUOTAROOT command and its response. Dovecot's response is
nearly verbatim.
As Rich mentioned, it appears to be a Mail.app issue with the empty-string
QUOTAROOT name.
There's a FIXME in the dovecot source regarding this:
root = quota_root_init(setups[0], ""); /* FIXME: name? */
See attached patch (against 1.0.3, but from hg.dovecot.org, seems to still
be valid) for a workaround. It causes dovecot to use a default QUOTAROOT
name of "DEFAULT". [ I left the /*FIXME*/, since I'm not Timo. :-) ]
Best,
Ben
