Hello,
I use Dovecot 1.1.11 and store the current quota usage in a Database.
As far I can see it, the quota usage is updated each time dovecot
performs an action on a mail.
For example if a new mail is stored in the inbox, the current quota
usage is increased. If a mail is deleted the quota usage is decreased.
If there are still existing E-Mails in the inbox, before quota is
turned on or if I perfom changes on the "mail storage" myself (for
example purging trash or spam, or something) the current quota usage
is NOT updated automatically by dovecot.
For example I copy some mailboxes to my server, then the current quota
for this mailboxes is still zero.
Is it correct that dovecot can't do this for me?
If yes, it seems I have to write my own (simple) update script and run
it sometimes croned (because I don't really trust the actual quota
implementation) and/or I have to update the current quota usage each
time I perform actions myself.
This "workaround" is easy by using a DB storage, but what about other
implementations?
Wouldn't it be nice if dovecot could do this or provide a tool for it?
Thank you!
Philipp
