The log entries for imap disconnection shows a "bytes = x/y" format where the x equals bytes sent from client and y equals bytes received from client.
Can someone explain that a little better to me, please? In an imap account, does this "y" represent the size of the header information being returned to the client or the amount of data of the email mailbox?
Also, is there a way to tell if an email has been deleted (or marked for deletion) when using an imap client?
Here's the situation:
I've got a user who uses imap when using his phone and webmail. When in the office, he uses a pop3 client on his desktop. He indicates he's missing some emails from the weekend when first turning on his desktop. I know of no way to discover if he's deleted and then purged email from his mailbox using imap clients. I've checked the logs and he does not access his mailbox simultaneously from any of the 3 clients.
I can find 31 emails he received since his last pop login on Friday until his first pop login on Monday. The pop login indicates he received only 27 emails during the pop retrieval.
I'm a little lost here. Any help would be appreciated in interpreting the logs or suggesting how this might have happened.
thanks

This probably doesn't help with the current case but for the future you could enable mail_log plugin to log several user events:
thanks very much. That looks great.
Is there any particular file I should place the particular lines?

For dovecot 2.x.x
conf.d/20-imap.conf: add mail_log and notify to mail_plugins
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_log notify
conf.d/10-logging.conf: There is already a template, just uncomment and modify as needed.
# mail_log plugin provides more event logging for mail processes. plugin { # Events to log.
