[courier-users] Maildir Quota, mysql field vs maildirsize file...

I am experiencing some confusing behavior with respect to quota's on
maildirs. I have read all the docs I can find referencing this.

Before now, we never set them up, as we didn't feel the need, however with
growing clients, we like them now. We have a lot of virtual domains and
users under each domain, and authmysql works perfectly as its easily
adminable with tools I wrote.


My confusion is with "MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD" in the file authmysqlrc as apposed
to maildirsize. Which one to use? Both? Why do they conflict (see below)?

I have noticed an issue while using ilohamail webmail (via IMAP) when it
reports on the current quota of a user's maildir. It FAILS to report
anything if only the MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD is used. I dug into the php code of
this package, and the author didn=B9t do anything wrong, he clearly connects
via IMAP and retrieves the QUOTA content from the server connection. I'm to=
o
lazy to install some other imap client software to test it out, but I
suspect it would all act the same.

It seems courier-imap will only report the quota, if the quota is stored in
a maildirsize file? However, when mail is being delivered to a maildir,
esmtp WILL use the mysql field.

Should I just ignore the field in mysql, not even define it, and just go
with "maildirmake -q" and maildirsize files?

I thought courier-imap uses the same user authlib setup as esmtpd and
courier itself. They should all use the same type of field definitions in a
manner that would be consistent, right?

For the most part, everything WORKS, I am just confused by the behavior I a=
m
seeing.

I'm going to comment out "MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD" and see if quota delivery and
imap clients all work with the maildirsize files instead.
