How does it look at quotas? Does it require 'maildirsize' to be created in maildir or it reads the LDAP database, and then creates the file? Even though qmail-ldap and Sqwebmail/Courier-IMAP/maildrop support "maildirsize quotas", they behave slightly differently. I am using maildrop for delivery, and out of the box it won't create "maildirsize". It will use quotas if maildirsize is present. Sqwebmail, also, doesn't read quotas from LDAP (Does the latest version use LDAP quotas?), but will obey them if it finds maildirsize. I believe Curier-IMAP has the same behavior, unfortunately. I just wish Courier-IMAP and maildrop read their quotas from an environment variable, and created maildirsize if it doesn't exist. Or recreated maildirsize if the environment variable now contains new quota. Both Courier-IMAP and maildirsize are forked from another process. Makes me wonder why this wasn't part of the original design in the first place.
