Just add a "-w" in your config like so:

Yep, what a nice RTFM :o) Actually, I found it minutes after my first post, and this worked.

Now, looks like I have to *really* understand HOW this is calculated, because the moment the mail is sent, ie. the moment 90% is detected seems very weird : on a mailbox where the max size is 400Mb, the quota warning is not sent at 399 997 kb, but is at 399 999 kb.

I read some doc about that, but I may have to read it again. Last thing : this mailbox comes from a migration from some old mbox mailboxes, so though they are fully maildir compliant, not all mail files are maildir++ named. Is the maildirsize calculated accordingly in that case (mix of maildir and maildir++ files), or can this go wrong ?

Most of these are answered with:

$ man maildirquota

Also, the warning would be sent when a message is delivered that puts the quota over 90%. In your example, this would be when the maildir exceeds 360MB.
