Title: email quota problem
Post by: joel on July 22, 2002, 02:28:41 PM

Anyone please help me. I deleted an email  account of a certain employee because she already exceeded the qouta I define, but the problem is that when I view the server manager to verify how many bytes gone in the her account, it seems that the bytes did not change or decreases even just a little. But in her email the file I deleted its already gone. What will I do or what seems to be the problem.

You deleted her email account, however the email data is still there.  Depending on the version of E-Smith you are running you can remove her E-mail data by:

cd /home/e-smith/files/users/
cd Maildir/cur
rm -rf *
cd ../new
rm -rf *

This will remove all her mail messages.  Removing the e-mail account does not remove the e-mail data also.

Hope this helped,
Nathan

but still the same.... whenever we deleted cur and new mails using rm -rf *  and when we open the web page administration > quota management they still have a 10.4 MB even if this account was newly created only...
what should i do?

Thanks
