Yes :-). Binc IMAP does not support QUOTA, which is an extension to the IMAP protocol. The reason for not supporting this and many other extensions, which I assume is something several others also wonder about, is that I want the mail "vanilla" server to be rock solid with regards to design and implementation. I also want it to be easy to modify the source and build extensions for third parties. I want Binc to reach a stable state before we start adding, extending, etc.. At the point where Binc in its vanilla state is good enough, we will move out of beta development, and release 1.2.0. Extension and feature enhancement will continue in 1.3.0, and only bugfixing will continue in 1.2.x. Binc has been undergoing some heavy reengineering through the last few releases, and the 1.1.9 release will be even better than the ones before it. But for those of you who need extensions and don't bother too much about stability, Dovecot is an alternative server. But check out the archives on bug history first..
