Quota/Disk Usage

[bpat1434]

What is the mail server? cPanel is just a front-end (much like Roundcube). What Mail Server are you using?

exim (exim-4.52-7_cpanel_smtpctl_av_rewrite_mm2_mmmtrap_exiscan_md5pass)

Yeah, but it seems like cPanel installations always modify a lot of "standard" parameters in the server. I am always getting "unknown" in the RoundCube disk usage label.

Pretty weird IMO.

well it depends on how cPanel is setting the quota, through IMAP or virtually through itself.

If you telnet into your IMAP server:

Code Select Expand

telnet imap.myserver.com 143and then login

Code Select Expand

log01 LOGIN [email][email protected][/email] mysecretpasswordWhat comes up as the capabilities? What happens if you run this command:

Code Select Expand

QUOT1 QUOTA

[Heritz]

Code Select Expand

telnet mail.meiler.com 143

Thats chineese for me, what does it mean?

IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ IDLE NAMESPACE MAILBOX-REFERRALS BINARY
UNSELECT SCAN SORT THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND

Those are the capabilities of your mail server. So either it doesn't support quota (which it probably does) or it hasn't been turned on by the server admin(s) (more likely).

So you'd have to actually ask them to turn on IMAP quotas.

Hey Brett, thanks for your super quick reply.

Can I turn the QUOTAS on by myself? Its a dedicated server running EXIM on Linux. Is there any way that I can turn that on via SSH, telnet or something?

[bpat1434]

That I'm not sure about.... try looking in an EXIM manual. Sorry.
