???.
The maildir++ quota used by qmail-ldap and couier-imap works perfectly
with just one virtual user. Acctually it is not designed for systems with
shell access as a user may play games with the maildirsize file and so
making the quota useless.

I think most users of qmail-ldap use that feature just like this (me
included).

If it is possible to get the quota usage via IMAP it should be possible. I
do not use squirrelmail that often to know if this is possible or not.
