Hello,
I would like to compress the maildir of some of our users, I'm thinking to use this script: [ https://github.com/George-NG/dovecot-maildir-compress/blob/master/dovecot-ma... | https://github.com/George-NG/dovecot-maildir-compress/blob/master/dovecot-ma... ]
My question is, how dovecot will calculate the quota for that user after the compression? will dovecot calculate the quota of that user using the real size of the message file after compression, or the plain size before compression?
Is it necessary to recreate the index of that maildir after the compression is made? If so, what command should I use?
Thank you!
Jose Bravo
Hi,
the quota, reported by dovecot, will be the same before/after compression because dovecot calculate the quota based on the "original" size of the message, that is (should be) present in the name of the maildir file.
Also, index file does not need to be updated, I did this several years ago with a script I made and everything worked fine.
Ciao
