B. Am i right in concluding that its easier and better in the long run to
implement and enforce quotas thru dovecot instead of postfix?
If you enforce quota with postfix only, the quota effects mail deliveries via
SMTP only, but not when IMAP users upload stuff.
Steffen, this i did not know. My understanding was that imap only reads what is
stored, its is postfix and the LDA that actually writes to the mail box.

But with IMAP you can move messages in and out from other clients local
stores, or from other servers entirely by drag and drop.
It also should be noted that many clients do this automatically with routine
use, so users might not even understand that they are adding messages to
their IMAP server, they might just know that they have Sent and Drafts folders.
