 Hello,

I'am faced to some students being unable to delete their mails because
they are overquota.. I changed to simply flag deleted but users
complained.
I red articles on the net and there is no way to move and not copy, then
delete which cause the problem.
So, when having an error such as overquota, could horde simply flag mail
as deleted, then the user will be able to delete mails without any
assistance..
Is it difficult to do?

Thanks


 May be the solution could be to use virtual trash, but I don't
understand
how to do that using prefs.php. Looking in database, the data is binary..


Ask the users not to use Trash folder temporarily using their preference
option.  So, they get option to delete which makes them 'mark as deleted'
and ask them to purge.


This was actually technically impossible until RFC 5530 defined an
OVERQUOTA response code.  I've just added code to IMP 5.1 that will
workaround this issue by permanently deleting the messages instead of
moving to Trash.  However, this is entirely dependent on the IMAP server (I
think Dovecot supports it).

Alternatively, use a IMAP server that supports "soft" quotas.


OK, I will see in that direction. Any hard things that thousand of students
need to do, lead to heavy support. So we need to automate..
We have cyrus imap

The Virtual Trash folder is a great option. We removed the regular Trash folder option here to prevent our users from complaining later.
