Actually virtual Dovecot quota completely ignores shared/public
namespaces currently. The only reason why you seem to notice a "combined
quota" is most likely because of filesystem quota limit exceeding.

So I suppose there needs to be some kind of a per-namespace quota that
could be defined.. Maybe something like:

quota = maildir:Shared quota:ns=shared/
quota_rule = *:storage=200M

Yes, that looked like an easy thing to implement. Added to v1.2:
