    Dovecot and debian 7

    A client is trying to create a new mailbox. the error is:

    The max space for mailboxes is reached. The max. available space in MB is: -14565
    Mailbox size must be a number.
    Invalid quota value. Allowed values are: 0 for unlimited or numbers > 1

    The client has the following email limits:

    Email Limits
    Mailbox quota 330 MB
    Max. number of mailboxes 220

    By now he is using 132 malboxex on 210

    root@ispconfig3:/var/vmail/domain.it# du -chs
    3.8G .
    3.8G total

    How is it possible ? Shoulnt he have 330 MB * 220 = 66GB of mail quota ?
    Am i missing something ? (well ... surely ...)

    Thanks

    Hi

    Set the mailbox quota limit of the client or reseller to a higher number.

    You mean higher than 330 MB ?
    But why do i have to do it ?

    He should have all the quota he needs, i wouldnt want to higher the mailbox quota

    I'm understanding the Mailbox quota is "per mailbox" right ?

    The mailbox quota in the client settings is the overall quota that this client can use for all his mailboxes. So he can currently create 1 mailbox with 330 MB or e.g. 1 mailbox with 300mb and another one with 30mb and so on. But he can not exceed the sum of 330 mb for all his mailboxes.
