Hi Leon,

Thanks a lot for sending in your patch and sorry for the late response,

This can be a problem. We have a customer with 400 mailaccounts, guess 
what happens of you hit this button. For all 400 accounts a cyrus 
connection will be made to look up the quota.

Hmm... what is a "shurename"? I guess it is a typo ;-)

This brings me to another question: It would be much better to store 
this kind of information in a separate table with rows defined in 
config.php. This way the information such as Firstname/Lastname 
(address, phone,etc.) can be stored i.e. in the same table that is used 
by Horde/IMP or other webmailers.

I'm not sure if I should apply this patch without the separate table for 
the storage.

Thanks,
