Well, I don't know what you're doing wrong, but it works with me. Here's
an easy way to reproduce my test. Maybe it'll give you some ideas of
what could be going wrong:
1) Save a slightly modified version of your config:
cat > ~/dovecot.conf <<EOF
mail_plugins = quota
mail_location = /tmp/Maildir
namespace {
inbox = yes
location =
prefix = INBOX.
separator = .
type = private
}
namespace {
location = maildir:/tmp/Maildir/carpeta1
prefix = carpeta1.
separator = .
type = private
}
plugin {
quota = maildir:carpeta1:ns=INBOX.
quota_warning = storage=75%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 75
quota_warning2 = storage=90%% /usr/local/dovecot/bin/quota-warning.sh 90
}
EOF
2) Create test mails to /tmp/Maildir
mkdir -p /tmp/Maildir/cur
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/Maildir/cur/mail-in-quota bs=1024 count=1024
mkdir -p /tmp/Maildir/carpeta1/cur
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/Maildir/carpeta1/cur/mail-without-quota bs=1024
count=2048
3) Recalculate the quota with doveadm and ask for it:
doveadm -c ~/dovecot.conf quota recalc
doveadm -c ~/dovecot.conf quota get
The result is as expected, the 1 MB mail shows up while the 2 MB mail doesn't:
Quota name Type Value Limit %
carpeta1 STORAGE 1024 - 0
carpeta1 MESSAGE 1 - 0
signature.asc
