My problem is now solved, it was a combination off two issues
1. Sqwebmail not updating maildirsize when items where deleted -> solved by you with the option --with-trashquota compiled with sqwebmail
2. Qmail not updating when mail is delivered and downloadet .> solved by inter7 in an old thread in mailling list with a suggestion to compile qmail with maildir++ patch placed in vpopmail source (contrib dir)
Thanks for your help :-)

Hi the problem was not solved by upgrading
it seems like sqwebmail donīt update the quota files....the quota is ok until a user deletes mail ind sqwebmail....how can i configure sqwebmail to update the quotafiles....is it the file maildirsize?
So what exactly is the problem when you delete a mail in sqwebmail? Is it that the quota does not go down, when you expect it to? Did you compile with the '--with-trashquota' argument to ./configure?
Apart from that, there is no configuration option which affects quota calculation that I know of.
The file is indeed maildirsize. If you 'cat' it you will see: - the first line is the quota (bytes and messages) - the second line is the number of bytes/messages in the mailbox at the time maildirsize was created - subsequent lines are deltas to this value; each time a message is added or removed, a new line is added with a pair of positive or negative numbers - once the file gets to 200 lines, it is replaced with a new file
So the quota sqwebmail displays is calculated by adding together lines 2..N in this file. If you can demonstrate that sqwebmail displays a value which is *different* from the sum of those values, then you have found a bug. If you can demonstrate that some user action (such as deleting a mail) does not correctly append the right new line to maildirsize, then you have also found a bug.

My users get wrong quota info in the front page when they are logged in sqebmail....it seems like sqwebmail is slow to update it to the corret value.It gets updated when a new message is delivered from an MTA which properly
supports the 'maildir++' extensions.
If you are delivering mail into the mailbox with a Maildir but not Maildir++
application (such as qmail), then try configuring it to deliver using the
external program 'deliverquota' (part of courier-imap) or 'maildrop'
(separate package from the same author)
How does sqwebmail get its quota info?See the file maildir/README.maildirquota.txt in the source, which also
explains how to configure qmail to use deliverquota.
