Hi Everyone,

Quick question.

What directory is the mailbox for each user stored? How can i see how much a user's mailbox size is?

Thanks!

Hi. Because Scalix has a single message store, meaning that if you send a 10MB file to 10 people on your server, the message would only get stored once and 10 pointers to that message would be created, there are two parts to a users mailbox. The config and pointer info is stored in the /var/opt/scalix/user subdirectory and the message data is stored in /var/opt/scalix/data.

To see a users mailbox size, run omscan. For example:

omscan -A -U "User Name"

see the man pages for details.

Thanks,
Rachel

Thank you!
