autocreate: why do I need autocreatequota?

2006-04-25 Thread Andreas Hasenack
Regarding the autocreate patches, did I missread the documentation or do
I need to set a default quota for an user? Why can't I just give these
autocreated mailboxes unlimited quota?

My scenario is that I would like to have the INBOX mailbox created
automatically upon first successfull authentication (not on post). I'm
using cyrus-imapd 2.2.12.

I'd say you misread the documentation.  If you want unlimited quota and
autocreate enabled, try a negative number.

- From man imapd.conf:

autocreatequota: 0

If nonzero, normal users may create their  own  IMAP  accounts  by
   creating  the mailbox INBOX.  The user's quota is set to the
valueif it is positive, otherwise the user has unlimited quota.

Great, many thanks for clearing this up :)
