Permit setting the quota on a non-existent folder that has children - patch for Cyrus -- deprecated
Overview
Cyrus imap doesn't allow to set the quota on a non-existent folder, regardless if the folder has or not children. According to the RFC it should be possible to set the quota even to a non existent folder, but setting the quota to a non-existent folder without children is non-practical. On the other hand, setting the quota on a non-existent folder that has subfolders is practical since you can have logical groups of subfolders which have a total quota but not be forced to assign quota to each one. This patch changes the default behaviour of cyrus-imap and allows to set the quota to a non-existent folder that has subfolders. If the folder doesn't have subfolders then cyrusimap returns an error.
