I have a problem and a question. I have users with quota over 4GB in a 32bit server and when maildrop creates the maildirsize, it uses 1GB quota. I have tested maildrop in a 64bit server and this problem didn't happen. Unhappily I can't use only 64bit server right now.

My problem is: Is possible to use quota > 4GB in 32bit servers ?

I was about to write an email about this very topic. There is a patch that someone wrote that patches the maildir support for the maildrop package so that it can handle quota larger than 2 GB (you wrote 4 GB, but in my tests, I started getting errors above 2 GB). The patch is located here:

http://japc.uncovering.org/patches/maildrop_64bit_quota.diff

Probably a naive question, but is there a good reason why this isn't
incorporated into all the relevant Courier packages?

Either way, thanks for pointing this out -- I was under the impression that I
was out of luck unless I went out and bought new hardware! Whew!!!!!

I have doubt about the maildirsize creating process. When maildrop create the file, if it does not exist? Always (when deliverying a message)? Sometimes (time specific process)?

It applies cleanly to the version of maildrop I run (2.0.4), but I don't know about the most recent version.

This is where you stand on the rooftops and proclaim Sam's programming prowess! The courier packages all share the same maildir code! You merely need to apply that same patch to the courier package, rebuild, install, and voila...a large quota supporting package is present in the imap and pop portions as well.

In my case, it applied cleanly to courier version 0.53.2. Again, I'm not sure if the patch will apply cleanly to the most recent version of courier, though. I do not know how much, if any, the code for maildir support has changed since the versions I'm using.
