Title: why isnt my quota showing on webmail?
Post by: timreichhart on May 22, 2009, 12:01:40 AM

Hi Guys
I wanted to know the reason why my quota is not showing up on the webmail and I was the one who setup the email server is there a setting I need to change?

also my system information is Ubuntu 9.04 with postfix+dovecot imap+mysql.

and how I installed was by doing this sudo apt-get install roundcube from command line.

Dovecot should be configured with quota plugins and quota mechanism should work. Something like this (please check dovecot docs):

protocol imap {
  mail_plugins = quota imap_quota
}

If you use mysql to get/store quota then configure dovecot quota plugin accordingly.

And I think that your local delivery agent should also be quota enabled. I use the LDA of Dovecot instead of the postfix one and therefor the quota file (maildirsize) is written by the Dovecot LDA.

I'm quite sure it isn't a RoundCube Problem. When establishing IMAP connection RoundCube asks for QUOTA Capabilitity. If the IMAP server does not response to have quota extension, the quota image is not shown. Look here IMAP Server with QUOTA Extension capability - HowtoForge Forums | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials (http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13030).

AFAIK, it works only for quota by IMAP server. I'm not aware of a plugin for mysql.

then it sounds like roundcube needs to be updated for this setup.

You can probably write a plugin to handle your situation.

Sorry for digging up and old thread perhaps this will help someone via search:

Dovecot pulls the quota information from the mysql tables and that data is then provided to the IMAP client via the IMAP QUOTA command.  There is no need for Roundcube to talk to the SQL server at all for this to happen.  So long as Dovecot is reports QUOTA support in it's header Roundcube will use it.
