sorry if this post is more on courier-imap than qmail-ldap

i've read the courier-imap docs on maildir quota saying that this will not work if
"This is the best solution when the default Maildir is located in each account's home directory. This solution will NOT work if Maildirs are stored elsewhere, or if you have a large virtual domain setup where a single userid is used to hold many individual Maildirs, one for each virtual user. "

so is it true that if i am using vmail as user and group, i will not be able to use this functionality?
all my user maildirs are inside /var/vmail (virtual user setup)

any suggestions? because i would like all my webmail users (squirrelmail) to see their maildir usage.

tq.
