Hi Norman,
I believe the autocreate quota setting is to allow users to create their own INBOX and enable the automatic setting of a quota when they do. to quote the imapd.conf man page:
autocreatequota: 0
If nonzero, normal users may create their own IMAP
accounts by creating the mailbox INBOX. The user's
quota is set to the value if it is positive, other-
wise the user has unlimited quota.We use this in an automatic provisioning script that allows users to activate their own mail accounts. The script logs the user in and then executes the imap command "create INBOX" the autocreatequota feature allows them to do this and sets their quota as appropriate.
As far as I know this setting has absolutely zero impact on mailboxes created by the cyrus administrator through IMAP or cyradm calls. If you need to do this as one step, create a script to create mailboxes that will execute both the create mailbox, set quota and any other appropriate commands.
Hope this helps, John

Hi,
I found that eventhough I added the option auotcreatequota to /etc/imapd.conf, there's no effect after creating user.

I still need to do
# sq user.xxx 50000
after cm user.xxx. Am I doing anything wrong?
