The issue discussed in
this thread involves cPanel accounts (system users) being over quota, that of file system quotas, and not e-mail account users.
I recommend using cPanel for managing e-mail accounts and viewing disk usage. If you need to view the e-mail user quota and usage information via command-line, SSH, or FTP, you may view the (automatically generated) YAML file at the following path within the applicable user's home directory:
Code:
~/.cpanel/email_accounts.yaml
Here is a command you may use via SSH to view the aforementioned YAML file, where "username" should be replaced by the applicable cPanel account username:
Code:
# cat ~username/.cpanel/email_accounts.yaml
Here's an example of what the file contents may look like where one e-mail account,
[email protected], has an unlimited quota while the other e-mail account,
[email protected], has a defined quota of ~2048 MB:
Code:
# cat ~username/.cpanel/email_accounts.yaml

domain.tld:
accounts:
abuser:
diskquota: '0'
diskused: 4170
mtime: '1281732235'
user:
diskquota: '2147483647'
diskused: 9798
mtime: '1281732205'
disk_mtime: '1272426349'
mtime: '1281732235'
quota_mtime: '1281732235'
If needing to modify e-mail account disk quotas please do so via cPanel to ensure all pertinent files are properly updated:
