Theres an email address on my server, (non admin) and isp config says its using 10mb of the 10mb allowed, but the user insists that there is little to no mail in the inbox.. and his client isnt set to leave a copy on the server

Is there any way i can check into this further? see where the 10mb is.

Thanks
Ryan

Please be aware that other files stored under this account e.g. in the website account to this quota. To check this, cd into the home directoyr of the user and run:

du -h --max-depth=1

2.7M ./user/web12_axoc/.spamassassin
36K ./user/web12_axoc/Maildir/new
92K ./user/web12_axoc/Maildir/cur
4.0K ./user/web12_axoc/Maildir/tmp
140K ./user/web12_axoc/Maildir
8.0K ./user/web12_axoc/web
3.0M ./user/web12_axoc



this isnt the main user, its just one he has for email purposes. So i suspect it could be down to mail trapped in the system somewhere

the email reads

Username: web12_axoc
Used Storage Space: 10.00 MB
Allocated Storage Space: 10.00 MB
User's Real Name: * mail
User's Email Address: ax@****.co.uk
Web Site: www.****.co.uk
Group Of Web Site: web12

Check /tmp for files owned by that user.
Possibly mailscanner leftovers.
