Problems with Disk Space calculation for mail

According to the control panel for a subscriber, they are using 404KB for web, 365MB for Mail, 12KB for databases and 0B for Other.

Can someone please explain where these figures come from?

The domain in question only has 223MB of email (and they dont have any mailing lists setup)

[root@management mydomain]# pwd
/var/qmail/mailnames/mydomain.co.uk
[root@management mydomain.co.uk]# du -sh .
223M .
 
If your subscriber backed up his site using the Backup Manager, the size of the backup is added on the mail size statistics. It's one of Plesk Panel 10 bugs.
Otherwise you could try recalculating statistics for that domain: /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics --calculate-one --domain-name=domain.com (replace domain.com, with the domain name of your subscriber)
