Hi Jake, Yep, similar to what I had been trying, but it doesn't seem to be working.
In my /etc/passwd file I had the line:- dave:x:1000:1000:David Travers,,,:/home/dave:/bin/bash I have changed it to show:- dave:x:1000:1000:David Travers,,,:/home/dave:/bin/bash:userdb_quota_rule=*:storage=100M Do I have to put the " userdb_mail=mbox:~/mail " in as well as that is specified already in Dovecot? Is there anything I need to do once specifying this in the passwd file as the quota limit is not being shown as changed in Open Xchange Also yes, I noticed the numbering and have corrected. Thanks for your quick reply.

Also, watch your quota_rule numbering. You have 2 rules with the same number (quota_rule2 for Trash and SPAM). In the passwd file, you are replacing the rule specified by number (no number technically being the first).
