What happens when I create a sub of inbox. What quota does apply to that
sub or does the sub has no quota?

according the rfc:
   Each mailbox has zero or more implementation-defined named "quota
   roots".  Each quota root has zero or more resource limits.  All
   mailboxes that share the same named quota root share the resource
   limits of the quota root.

that make me think that INBOX and INBOX.Trash share the same named quota
and therefor raising the quota on inbox.Trash doesn't help. (I could be
wrong, I never used quotas)

But to come back to the QUOTA idea. It's probably not a good idea. Much
better would be to write an RFC for IMAP MOVE. But that's discussed before
if I'm correct.
