This is the local filesystem quota.  From the documentation:

      * This may require a modified "quota" command that allows the httpd
      * server account to get quotas for other users...  It requires that your
      * web server and user server be the same server or at least have shared
      * authentication and file servers (e.g. via NIS/NFS).  And last, it (as
      * written) requires the posix php extensions.
      *
      * If your quota command wraps the output onto two lines, then this module
      * will only work if you have a grep which supports the -A switch, and you
      * append an -A1 switch to your grep_path (e.g. '/bin/grep -A1').

Given this description... if you haven't configured anything then  
there is about a 0% chance the quota will be displayed.

There is no way to display an IMAP quota in a block.  This is  
intentional for performance purposes.
