defaultmailboxquota anomaly
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-1.04 (built May 9 2007; 32bit)
I have a situation where i have set: store.defaultmailboxquota = 262144000
on my mailstore.
imquotacheck reveals that the user accounts do in fact have the proper quota eg
john25600020550-258---
Imap clients seem to also report the quota properly, however within the messenger express interface the quota is not reported properly and in fact shows:
Your mailbox disk quota is: 4194304MB
If i add a mailquota value to the user's directory entry the web interface reports properly.
Did i miss something in my configutil for webmail, is this a bug, or do i just need to populate my user directory accounts with mailquota values ?

Hi,
Looks like a new bug - I can reproduce on my own test system. You will note that the underlying quota information changes when you log-in using messenger-express/UWC - so it appears that is being displayed is 'correct', its why the quota is being changed is the question e.g.
Before login:
bash-3.00# ./imquotacheck
NameQuota(K) Usage(K) %Quota# Usage# % OverDate WarnDate
-- -- -- - - -- --
admin25600000-0---
After login:
bash-3.00# ./imquotacheck
NameQuota(K) Usage(K) %Quota# Usage# % OverDate WarnDate
-- -- -- - - -- --
admin-0--0---
I will look into it over the next day or two.
Regards,
Shane.

Hi,
I have logged a bug for this issue, bug #6580785 - "Webmail displays incorrect quota information when mailquota attribute isn't set". Please log a sun support case (if you have a support contract) if you want this bug fixed in the short-term.
With regards to the quota changing behaviour which I noted previously, this appears to have been more due to caching of LDAP information within the imapd/stored processes so was to be expected (I was forcing the update of the quota database using the iminitquota -a command rather then waiting for caches to update). Once the LDAP cache had expired the quota was updated correctly in the quota database.
