[imp] @imap_quota & courier?

[Joshua E Warchol]

Paul,

I've got a bit of experience with Courier-IMAP's quota support. Besides
using deliverquota, you also have the option of using the maildrop MDA. 
If you use Postfix for your MTA, you can also use the virtual delivery
agent (with Xavier's patch, look on postfix.org).

I do not know of any way, short of patching  Courier-IMAP, to make it
report filesystem quotas. If you are only concerned about reporting
the quotas in IMP, someone previosly talked about a way to do that on
this list. I think it was something like a shell script called through
exec() or something. Basically a custom imp_show_quota function. 

Hope this helps, Good Luck.
