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.
