Is there a mechanism available that would let me, for example, alter the user's quota settings during the initial login, perhaps with a function call from authcustom?

You can set the MAILDIRQUOTA environment variable, and do not explicitly specify the quota with deliverquota.

So I can use deliverquota to set the quota with an SMTP transaction, or the MAILDIRQUOTA environment variable to set the quota from an IMAP authentication module, but not both?

Also, reading through the documentation for 1.5.1 (something I should have done earlier), I learned about the new quota argument for maildirmake. I can probably use this method easily enough, but if I do, I may have to convince other developers who are insisting I come up with a way to do quota checks when messages are received and when the user logs in via IMAP. Quota information, along with other user attributes are to be stored in a central database, and there is always the concern about "duelling data."

I'm open to suggestions on how to make a convincing case. Thank you again for your time.
