Hello,
I have a terrible problem at the moment at the university with new students not being able to receive mail because I cannot create any more accounts.
I am currently running cyrus-imapd-2.0.17. However I cannot create any more mailboxes.
I receive the following error when trying to create new accounts ...

.... and so it goes on
I currently have 32,765 directories in this account and it seems like perhaps I have reached the quota. Is there anyway to stop this?
Create another Cyrus partition (probably, but not necessarily, on a new physical partition) and create the new user accounts there.
For example, add something like this to imapd.conf:
partition-cyrus2: /var/spool/cyrus2
Then in cyradm, do the following:
cm user.jwalsh14 cyrus2
