Hello

This would involve developing a custom script that utilizes our API. The "Email::listpops" module would likely be helpful:

cPanel API2 - Email

Thank you.

Dear Michael,

Previously thanks for your answer
Can you tell me more specific how using this API "Email::listpops"?
If possible, please give example with script maybe.
Thanks so much for your help. Sory I'm newbie.

Do you have root access to this server or do you only have cPanel access? The API2 function is documented here:

Email::Listpops

You may need to consult with a developer if you need assistance with the custom script you are planning to create.

Thank you.

I know this is an old thread but I too wanted to solve this, and I felt that there likely was a simpler answer. Here's mine:

find /home -type f -name "maildirsize" > mailboxes.log

I chose that filename after creating a brand new email account, never accessed, and looking inside for unique files I could search for. That seemed like a good one.

I use Exim/Dovecot but not sure if that makes any difference. YMMV, do the same, make a fresh account and look inside.

There will be one extraneous result per account under /home/accountname/mail/maildirsize but with a simple regex search/replace you should be able to quickly eliminate that, such as replacing .*?/mail/maildirsize.* with blank in your text editor, then collapsing the blank lines.

Then just search/replace all of the / characters with commas, load into Excel as a CSV, make a PivotTable and you're done
