You mean the only reason to use a flat layout (hierarchy emulation like .folder.subfolder.subsubfolder) is to know where to update the file which store the Maildir size ? Sounds strange : why not calculate Maildir size ? And regarding quotas : can I have a quota on some folder and a quota on some of its subfolder(s) ? If yes, wouldn't that change the problem ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hum...@pasteur.fr> | Pôle informatique - systèmes et réseau
