Read some excerpts of manging IMAP Mail online (<a href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/mimap/chapter/ch09.html">http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/mimap/chapter/ch09.html</a>) and deleting the quota root file and creating a new quota root using cyradm>setquota and then fixing with quota -f seemed to force cyrus to calculate the new filesystem disk usage.
<br><br>Not sure if this is a bug or not but it worked so I can script this for the future.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 01/10/2007, <b class="gmail_sendername">George Cooke</b> <<a href="mailto:geocoo@gmail.com">

,1 <br><br>I used ipurge to clear out a mailbox after a backup but running 'quota -f' as the cyrus user does not output a different quota, it is still 2gb used and hence over quota for that mailbox/quota root, when manually checking the mailbox on disk it uses about 40kb of space.
<br><br>Can anyone enlighten as to how to get quota or quota subsystem to update properly? I had this problem before but after a reconstruct irf it worked but not this time. I would also love to read documentation on how quota or the quota system actually works.
