    Default Mass mailbox quota adjustment?

    I have a cPanel account with about 100 mailboxes and all set with the default 10 Meg quota.

    It's too small for most of them now that they have started using it.

    Is there a way to update more than one mailbox quota at a time?

    Thanks,
    Chuck

    That 10 MB quota is indicative of you using our older X and X2 themes. You may want to use the newer X3, where the default is 250 MB. The X and X2 themes are out of date and will likely be deprecated in version 12.

    As for the person with full mailboxes, you may wish to edit the quotas on the mailboxes.

    Additionally, there is no script or functionality at this time to alter the quotas of mailboxes automatically via cPanel or WHM. You may wish to request this functionality at http://bugzilla.cpanel.net

    Is there a way to adjust or change the default of 250 in x3 ?

    A search on the forums for "250 MB" yields:

    http://forums.cpanel.net/showthread....ghlight=250+MB

    Your answer is there.

    Also - quotas will be found in /home/<accountname/etc/domain.name/quota

    If you open that file you'll see all the POP3 accounts and their respective quotas. If you are any good at PERL you can easily write up something that will modify all quota files in all /home/*/etc/*/quota files . If you aren't great with PERL regex (like I am not), then you can't rofl.

    Default I've written my own little Perl script to do just this.

    Works fine... At least it has worked for the better part of the last year or so.

    Now, I have one account that I have changed from 100MB to 200MB and although the quota file clearly shows 209715200, the quota is still set to 100MB instead of 200MB.

    I double checked a different account and I can change it to 200MB and back to 100MB without any problems, simply by modifying the quota file... Just this one account is totally unaffected. Not sure why. Has anyone else run into this?

    Thanks,
    Peter
