Francesco Thanks for your response.

However, the behavior of my installation of xmail imap customer does not
match the one described in your inbox.

XMail, when you create an account, create default folders (depending on
configuration):

/var/MailRoot/domains/mydomain/account/Maildir/cur
/var/MailRoot/domains/mydomain/account/Maildir/new
/var/MailRoot/domains/mydomain/account/Maildir/tmp

If you also connect to a POP3 client, a web client used by IMAP, create the
folder (in my case I use Round Cube)

/var/MailRoot/domains/mydomain/account/Maildir/.Drafts
/var/MailRoot/domains/mydomain/account/Maildir/.Junk
/var/MailRoot/domains/mydomain/account/Maildir/.Sent
/var/MailRoot/domains/mydomain/account/Maildir/.Trash

Within four folders described in the preceding paragraph also creates
subfolders CUR, NEW and TMP.

Now, since using the iPhone IMAP client, have also created the following
folders:

/var/MailRoot/domains/mydomain/account/Maildir/.Deleted Messages
/var/MailRoot/domains/mydomain/account/Maildir/.Sent Messages

These two new folders in turn have subfolders inside CUR, TMP NEW as in the
previous case.

Well, if you used a panel xmail management, for example, phpxmail, you can
see that in the message count does to determine the status of the cuota
takes into account all hanging folders and subfolders of / var / MailRoot /
domains / mydomain / account / Maildir /. PHPXMail is also a small mistake
and is account dovecot configuration files like messages (but this is not
the subject of this message.)

For all the above, as the iPhone terminal saves copies of sent messages in
the folder he has created ... Sent Messages and keeps copies of messages
that are deleted from the terminal in the folder created for him ... Deleted
Messages cause the account into overcuota.

In my case I use:
Operating System: Linux distribution Debian Lenny.
XMail see. 1.27
IMAP protocol implementation using Dovecot

I hope I have been more clear in my statement so it can be understood my
problem.

Many Thanks

Not sure that I understand your problem, but I'm running XMail on 
Windows, with a mailbox directory structure, together with a webmail 
client that creates its own folders for sent messages, deleted 
messages etc, like this:

$MAIL_ROOT/domains/domain/user/mailbox
$MAIL_ROOT/domains/domain/user/Sent
$MAIL_ROOT/domains/domain/user/Trash

etc.

XMail totally ignores folders other than mailbox and only counts 
messages in mailbox for purposes of enforcing the quota limit. If the 
IPhone behaves like my webmail client, this should create no 
quota-related problems.

Ciao, Francesco
