Hi all

Since the upgrade to maildir / courier a number of accounts are showing incorrect usage figures from the "Add Remove Email accounts" section - this is confusing customers where the amount is slightly off and really confusing them where the amount is about 20gig :rolleyes:

Running fixquotas doesn't sort this - and I'm not entirely sure where these stats are stored / what generates them.

TIA

Hit this myself today.

Remove the file "maildirsize" from their mail directory (ie /home/user/mail/userdomain.com/email) and all will instantly return to normal. Looks like mis-cached old values, or something, but not sure ....
