View Full Version : Managing e-mail accounts
I'd like to start using POP boxes for other folks on my domain, but I have a couple questions:
* the size of their POP box counts against my accounts HD usage, right? If so, how can I find out who's being bad?
* I don't want to know their passwords! How can I get around this?

Hmm... sorry it's taken so long for anybody to respond to this... but lemmie give a crack at it.
First off, you can find out who's being bad with their space by logging into your account via shell access and typing:
du -h --max-depth=1 mail
This will show you how much each user is using in their pop mail box in a human readable format (as well as how big the entire mail folder is on the bottom). Then, add the result from:
du -h --max-depth=0 .neomail*
And you'll get the entire space they are using. The second command will list the space each user is using in their neomail account (again, in human readable format... and please note the 0 instead of the 1 from before). Not all users will have a neomail account, but all WILL have a regular mail account.
As for the password issue, I am sure there is some way to change the email password through a function call of sorts, I just don't know how... I'd suggest submitting a trouble ticket about that (and then tell us... I'm curious also :)).
