I am sorry if this was very stupid, i overlooked the 2nd and 3rd lines as I forgot about the copy/delete thing (which also always leaves a copy in trash when moving a message and using trash folder)

One last question:

daemon1# rm tim/Maildir/maildirsize

daemon1# maildirmake -q 30000000S tamer/Maildir/

daemon1# cat tim/Maildir/maildirsize 30000000S 14049520 1528

daemon1# du -sh tim/Maildir/ 17M tim/Maildir/

daemon1# du -sh tim/Maildir/.Trash/ 72K tamer/Maildir/.Trash/

14 Megs as opposed to 17M ?

Is this normal?

I noticed one or two of the folders in my Maildir don't have the maildirfolder file, but others do. Is that relevant?

In this case, the two messages were moved each to its own folder.

daemon1# cat tim/Maildir/maildirsize 30000000S 14028986 1524 3495 1 4740 1 3495 1 -3495 -1 4740 1 -4740 -1

This shows the messages were added, then deleted. (I didn't delete them :) But the messages were only moved to the folders. And I can still see them where they were moved.

That's how IMAP works. There's no such thing as "moving" a message to another folder. That is done by copying a message, then deleting the message in the original folder. That's what you see reflected in maildirsize.

I also use EXPUNGE_TO_TRASH.

This means if I delete the message now from the folder it was moved to, the

message would be deducted twice?

I deleted the last of the two messages, then:

daemon1# cat tim/Maildir/maildirsize 30000000S 14028986 1524 3495 1 4740 1 3495 1 -3495 -1 4740 1 -4740 -1 -4740 -1 daemon1#

Yep, it was deleted twice.

No. The move operation resulted in each message getting added to, then subtracted from the quota, making it a total wash.
