Concerning Dovecot:
I just recently learned that dovecot is able to store the quota data in
a SQL database instead of a maildirsize file.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict
So right now I am looking forward to test this, because this also solves
(at least) my problem of being able to test a mailbox for being over
quota at the MX layer of my mailserver setup, which I have not been able
to do with Courier/maildir. Of course, you need to use dovecot-lda to
deliver the messages to the users mailbox to have the quota table
updated correctly.
But I have not tested such a setup so I cannot tell if this scales or is
horribly slow.

Sven
