We have been happily running cyrus-imap 2.2.12 on a Solaris 10 system (installed from Blastwave) for years. I now have a problem with a user's quota which I don't understand.
Usage as reported by cyradm lq, lqr and by the equivalent IMAP query all report that the user is at 78% but when they login, after selecting a folder they get a "Mailbox is over quota" error. The user's quota file in /var/imap/quota contained: 3604871753 4500000 The actual filestore in use is consistent with the 3.6 GB usage figure above. I tried running quota -f on the mailbox but that did not make any difference. I deleted the quota file and this had the effect of disabling quotaing for the user. This would appear to be a workaround for the user but not really a satisfactory solution. The 4.5 GB quota was subsequently reinistated. Initially the quota file contained 2285158 4500000 which looks like the amount of mail received after the quota was reinstated. After running quota -f it went back to a similar number as before, equivalent to 78% usage, but still with the "Mailbox is over quota" error. How can I correct this problem? Thank you in anticipation.
