Hello.

I would like to know it a 'proper' solution exist to get the size (in MB) of a maildir. Actually, to get it, I do a 'du -sh' but I'm not sure it is a good solution. And it does not return the same value than imap-quota.

Is there a command, a tool, in Dovecot to get it?

There is the maildirsize but it's very difficult to get the value with a script shell and with this file.

How about using IMAP? Like:

printf "1 getquotaroot inbox\n" | dovecot --exec-mail imap

(or depending on your settings change $USER, $HOME or use netcat and master user login)
