Hi All,
I've read a bit about this but don't really see a full solution anywhere. Has anyone actually got a good fix for this?
Telling a user they are over quota then not allowing them to delete anything does seem the height of perversion. =)
Question is - is this even a problem for the IMAP server? Or should the MUA be detecting over quota problems and then issuing the right commands to delete messages WITHOUT the copy to Trash?
Lastly - even if it is the MUA's responsibility - will Dovecot not still have a problem with indexes? I suspect perhaps not if:
A. When using FS Quotas you store the indexes in a non quota partition B. When using other quotas (dirsize / maildir++), Dovecot does not count the index files when counting up the usage.
Is B true?
Best wishes, Daniel
