I suspected as much myself.

True, but how come the 'root' 'folder'/'mailbox' does?

Config_dir for what, for Cyrus? Or for SquirrelMail?

Is there a more elegant fix to this?

And why can't my users create new 'folders'/whatever?

And, as noted before, I do NOT want to make, say, an Inbox with a 10MB
quota, a Sent with a 10MB quota, a Trash with a 10MB quota... I want a
10MB quota overall. How can I do this? How can I create "sub-"mailboxes
using Cyrus? :(
