I do have a "Trash" folder set up for my users. Do I have to delete this folder to allow this to work?
I added "quotawarn: 5000" to my imapd.conf but it didn't do anything. When I looked up the man page for imad.conf it didn't list that option. What else can I do? -----Original Message----- From: Ken Murchison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 12:11 PM To: Rob Baugh Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: Users cannot delete mail once they have reached their quota > Rob Baugh wrote: > > Sorry, but I am new to Linux and having to setup a mail server for > work.

Because the user is already at (or above) their quota, the 'copy' part of this will fail. Assuming the client doesn't use a 'Trash' folder concept (which will have the same problem as described above), messages should be able to be 'deleted' (flagged as deleted) and 'expunged' (actually deleted). > > Also how can I set the mailserver to monitor the mailbox size and warn > the users that their boxes are approaching the limit? The Cyrus server will ALERT the client when the mailbox is above a certain threshold ('quotawarn' in imapd.conf) and over quota. If the client doesn't present these ALERTs to the user, then the client is broken. Ken -- Kenneth Murchison Oceana Matrix Ltd.
