Funny,
I just helped a guy with similar problems on the Courier-Imap list
this morning, only difference was he was using IMP. But here's what I
wrote:
--- 1st Email
First we need to determine whether Courier or IMP's config is the problem:
telnet imap.server.com 143
Server should say something similar to:
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 NAMESPACE CHILDREN IDLE QUOTA SORT
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES UIDPLUS STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP
ready. Copyright 1998-2003 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for
distribution information.
The QUOTA capability is important as it's telling the client that the
server supports quotas, if it's not there then you need to tweak your
Courier config.
Now type:
a01 login quotauser userpassword
where quotauser and userpassword are the username/pass of a user with a
set quota.
select INBOX
getquota ROOT
if this doesn't work (i.e. print some quota information, more than just
OK) the problem is with your IMAP config. You didn't include any details
on how your doing quota's though, are you using Filesystem quota's or
maildir style quota's? If the telnet session works then the problem is
with IMP.

It sounds like Courier IMAP is working just fine but as far as it can tell
there is no quota set on the mailbox. This may be because the quota was
not set properly or the IMAP process may not have read-write access rights
to the maildirsize file to determine quota settings. In the latter case,
Courier will simply assume there is no quota. Go into a user's
$HOME/Maildir directory and do a "ls -l". Mine looks like this:
total 27
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 72 Mar 10 08:57 courierimapkeywords
-rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 926 Mar 3 21:30 courierimapsubscribed
-rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 1064 Mar 10 08:57 courierimapuiddb
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 1304 Mar 10 08:57 cur
-rw-r----- 1 vmail vmail 5012 Mar 10 08:57 maildirsize
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 48 Mar 10 04:14 new
-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 4 Jan 11 19:51 sqwebmail-curcnt
-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 1 Jan 11 20:06 sqwebmail-timestamp
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 48 Mar 10 09:04 tmp
Notice the maildirsize file is owned by vmail as are other files. If your
file exists but is owned by root or some other user, there's your problem.
All of my Maildirs are owned by vmail because we use LDAP for virtual
user's rather than creating real system accounts for each user. In your
case though, you should determine who should own the files then do a:
chown -R vmail.vmail $HOME/Maildir/maildirsize
chmod 0640 $HOME/Maildir/maildirsize
Somebody correct me if those permissions aren't secure but that should work.
