Hi,

hope someone can help also if this problem is difficult to debug

I have a mail account that has on file system 32GB however quotacalculation gives a higher value 41262146

I've already tried to:

• doveadm quota recalc -u user@domain

If after quota recalc the quota value is higher than "du" value, try with "du -l" instead. My guess it that the same emails have been copied to multiple folders with hard links. Dovecot counts each instance as its own mail, even though on filesystem they are deduplicated.
