I think by using dovecot quota you can exclude some directories from the
quota (e.g: spam or Trahs or whatever you like).
More specificly it is better using dovecot quota as it will allow LDA to
report quota exceeded in NDR . If using filesystem quota, I guess you'll
send ugly messages reporting IO error or enability too write file, which
is really not serious.

Subject:Re: [Dovecot] Filesystem quotas
But if you dont use quotas how do you know if the user is out of space? Or does
the user gets a notification that it's running out of space, before you start
rejecting emails?
How do I know, or, how does the user know? I couldn't care less, so, not an issue for me. The user gets notification when their used space is above a certain percent. These are system users, so, email is just one part of their quota space. They might have 1 email, and build a massive file, they'd still be out of space.
So, what do I get by using the Dovecot Quota/FS plugin? Is it just a matter of
it counting used space? Something else? Better handling of out of space?
