You don't. You choose one or the other at compile time. With maildirquota=y, what goes in the maildirsize is generated from the vpopmail auth module. If you change someone's quota, maildirsize gets deleted and upon the next delivery it gets recreated with the new quota, so you'll never have to worry about keeping track as long as you use vpopmail's tools (or vsetuserquota api) to edit users. > I'll check out your patch, it seems like something required to make > quotas useful, no? I wouldn't say that. But it's required to make *folders* accounted for only. If you don't use sqwebmail or courier-imap (or any other Maildir+ + aware agent), you don't need this. Ideally, I'd love to see vpopmail lose the old quota system for this one. But for people that just do pop (no folders), they don't see a need to put effort into testing this. Old system does not do folders New system does either with or without folders. Both have about the same overhead and downfalls as any "soft" quota system. Regards, Bill Shupp
