"Expunging a message only decreases the message's refcount. The space is later freed in "purge" step. This is typically done in a nightly cronjob when there's less disk I/O activity. " What happens if there is filesystem hard quota that is exceeded? Will dovecot allow to delete mails to free space without a need to wait for cronjob to do the purge? -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz PLD/Linux Team arekm / maven.pl http://ftp.pld-linux.org/
