courier/exim doesn't sound like a fun mixture.  you might try 
integrating maildrop into exim as LDA which will unify all your quota 
functionality

shouldn't matter

then courier-imap should see it.  you might ask on courier-imap list why 
it does not.

yes, but how is it supposed to know that you are otherwise using courier 
quotas.... i'm not so sure the two can be convinced to work together, 
but you should ask elsewhere

userdb sets overall quota limits.  maildirsize file keeps track of 
current quota usage.  i don't know how that file gets updated if you are 
not using maildrop LDA.  i suppose imap could update it when accessing 
the maildir, but i really don't know if it does that or not.  you should 
take this elsewhere for better answers.
