Is there no way to do a recalc-quota-on-first-login?
I'd actually recommend switching to "count" quota: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Count Then if you also want to see the current quotas in Redis, you can use http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/QuotaClone Also, quota-dict is actually able to recalculate quota on missing keys, but specifically in Redis case its INCRBY command succeeds even if it didn't originally exist, so Dovecot doesn't detect it. And it would be pretty wasteful to do a GET every time before INCRBY.
