I just tested by adding QUOTA to the CAPABILITY string in imap4.h, and now tb will happily show quota usage. Dbmail does not support the SETQUOTA command, but other than that quota support is complete, albeit limited to a single quotaroot "". Adding SETQUOTA seems to me like a security problem: why use quota when users can override there own quota? Perhaps someone can tell me how cyrus does this. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
