I never used mysql for keeping the quotas there, but the non-enforcing part should remain the same, no matter what backend you use. You would just need to change the passdb and userdb files to contain SQL queries instead of LDAP ones. Mysql would be used to store in a table the quotas for each user and you would need to use the mysql dictionary backend in Dovecot to access that info in Mysql. Its worth to check their wiki for this because it has a LOT of information and it usually the only source you need for Dovecot configuration. Check this page on how to configure Dovecot to use Mysql as a dictionary backend for quotas: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Quota/Dict Hope this helps, sorry I don't have more specific information, but the wiki page together with my how-to should bring you close to your goal. Cheers Hi,
