I don't use quota's on my system (my small, well-known user base makes 
it unnecessary -- at least until/unless someone begins abusing the 
privilege, I suppose) so I don't know for sure what is there currently 
in sqwebmail actually, and what it is you're wanting to change...

But from my quick look at a slightly older copy of the source, is your 
problem that you are trying to *add* the size of the quota into the 
string, and make it unique to each user? -- I.e. insert a new variable 
into the string, which sqwebmail doesn't currently display?

If that's all, I think what you'd need to do (though I haven't tested 
it myself, so "no promises") is first to simply change the QUOTAUSAGE 
string definition in folders.html to read like this:

[#$QUOTAUSAGE=<div align="center">You are using %d%% of your %d 
quota.</div>#]

... and then, since I believe the quotainfo struct is built on a per 
user basis, I think all you need to do after that is change the 
folder_showquota() function (which you actually mentioned already) to 
read something like this for instance:

	if (quotainfo.quota.nmessages != 0 ||
	    quotainfo.quota.nbytes != 0)
		printf(quotamsg, maildir_readquota(&quotainfo),
			(quotainfo.quota.nbytes / 1024 / 1024));

Now, of course, as I said, I haven't tested that... so I may have 
mistyped or not thought something through about that. -- And it would 
*only* work as above for byte quotas. That example code modification 
doesn't take into account message count quotas, which would necessitate 
a bit more logic being added to handle them properly. (I.e. You'll 
probably see "22% of your 0 MB quota" for any message count-based 
quotas.) -- Not to mention that it assumes all quota sizes will be in 
MB (instead of KB, GB, TB, etc.) which could be a problem I suppose. 
(And if you use 1000 as your multiplier instead of 1024 when assigning 
quotas, then you should alter each "1024" above to respect that 
difference too.) ...

... But that should get you started at least, I believe.

Good luck!

P.S. If that actually by some miracle works (without me ever having 
compiled it for testing prior to sending this out) and you want to 
submit this as a feature addition to Sam... then let me know, and I'll 
try to find time to help you clean it up so that it supports other 
possibilities such as message count quotas, and quota sizes measured in 
units other than MB. -- Unless of course, someone else wants to tackle 
that project. =)
