Yes. > Sounds strange : why not calculate Maildir size ? What "Maildir size"? The MDA doesn't necessarily know what the "root maildir" is. The path may not have "Maildir/" string anywhere in it. For example if you told MDA to deliver a mail to Maildir in /foo/bar/baz, should it write the maildirsize to /foo, /foo/bar or /foo/bar/baz? > And regarding quotas : can I > have a quota on some folder and a quota on some of its subfolder(s) ?
