plesk and qmail mailbox size

[nooi]

Hello,

i have the following problem, on Plesk 8.6.0 the mailbox size for one domain is 4.78GB.
After a migration to Ubuntu 8.04 Plesk 9.2.3, Plesk shows the Mailbox Size with only 825MB.
# du -skh /var/qmail/mailnames/alex...de/" shows the correct value with "4.9G /var/qmail/mailnames/alex...de/".

In the Plesk menu under "Include in the calculation of the disk space usage" everything is checked.
I tried "# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics", but Plesk shows only 825MB.

Can anybody help me, that Plesk shows the correct qmail mailbox size?

You shouldn't use du for mailbox size calculation. There is other method in Plesk. If you look at any mail in mailbox you see something like:

/var/qmail/mailnames/tipodomain.com/test/Maildir/cur:
1251835130.M914264P22029V0000000000000036I0000000006761398.plesk92.centos5.plesk.ru,S=1246:2,
1251835165.M901860P24364V0000000000000036I00000000067613A2.plesk92.centos5.plesk.ru,S=424653:2,S

/var/qmail/mailnames/tipodomain.com/test/Maildir/new:
1252260328.M429962P1704V00000000000000CAI000000000676002C.plesk92.centos5.plesk.ru,S=2963

Digit after S= is size of mail which will be calculated by Plesk. So, if any mail have not this S=xxx, size of this mail will not be calculated by Plesk. This parameter is formed by Qmail during mail delivery.

Thank you, i have added a new 1kb Mailfile with the attribute S=4gb for the difference.
In the Maildir are some very old mails without S=, but in Plesk 8.6 it was no problem.
The mail@ email-account is correct calculated with 9gb. (old 5gb and 4gb for S=)
But the total size is still unchanged.

Not sure that adding this parameter to file name manually will be enough for correct mail size calculation. It should be done by qmail but not by file renaming.
