how to use cyradm in a not-so-interactive way?

[Javier Cano Linares]

Hi, Kai and people!

Thanks a lot!

Now it works. Just one more question. I read the API documentation for
Cyrus::IMAP::Admin but I can not really understand how to set the
mailbox quota. In the perl file Admin.pm you can see:

"=item setquota($mailbox,$resource,$quota[, ...])

Set quota on a mailbox. Note that Cyrus currrently only defines one
resource, C<STORAGE>. As defined in RFC 2087, the units are groups of
1024 octects (i.e.Kilobytes)"

I do not know how to call this function, I suppose something like (but
exactly how?):
setquota('user.test0004',???,20000);

regards
Javier Cano
