Right. Quota isn't automatically recalculated if you go manually adding or removing files. > After deleting the entry for t...@testing.com from the database, the > quota gets properly recalculated.

If the problem is only with --exec-mail, you could create a master user that can login to any user's account and triggers the quota recalculation. Something like: printf "a login destuser*masteruser masterpass\nb getquotaroot inbox\n" | nc localhost 143 http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers > .- Maybe the most practical would be to have a crontab to update the > real values from time to time, at least until 2.0 is not available in > our environment... In v2.0 you can do it even more easily :) doveadm quota recalc -u username
