#2379 size of mailbox (Maildir) reported is not correct
webmin ver: 1.250
OS: FC4
perl: 5.8.6
postfix: 2.2.2-2
When using Maildir/ with postfix, the Read User Mail
reported storage size of the user's
"/home/username/Maildir" is incorrect.
I have tried these two Read User Mail module settings:
Detect location of mail files automatically? "Yes,
based on mail server" -- Mail server installed -> Postfix
...and...
"No, use settings below .."
All set to "None" except
"Mail directory in user home directories" set to "Maildir/"
But configurations result in the reporting of a really
small "kb"s.
I see that mailboxes-lib.pl in "sub
mailbox_folder_size" calcs from the $_[0]->{'type'}.
Perhaps it should think it's a "1" for qmail maildir?
(but of course changing the "Mail server installed" to
"Qmail" makes it barf at the fact that Qmail is really
not installed).
Should there be a "Postfix + Maildir" option and a new
$_[0]->{'type'} devised to support correct calc of the
Maildir?
Jamie, give me a suggestion and I can see what I can
patch together (post reply/suggestion in this bug report).

Thinking out-loud:
/etc/postfix/main.cf
home_mailbox = Maildir/
If home_mailbox ends in a slash, then postfix knows it is a
Maildir/ (really, no matter what the name of the "Maildir"
part is).
In the "Local delivery" portion of the Postfix module, there
is the field named "Home-relative pathname of user mailbox
file". If the folders-lib.pl section could test for a
trailing "/" in that field, then it should use the
qmail-like subroutine "mailbox_folder_size" found in
folders-lib.pl. To get that to happen, the $_[0]->{'type'}
has to be == 1. Now, what sets the $_[0]->{'type'} value?

In the postfix module, postfix-lib.pl there is a subroutine
named "postfix_mail_system" and it:
# Returns 0 and the spool dir for sendmail style,
# 1 and the mbox filename for ~/Mailbox style
# 2 and the maildir name for ~/Maildir style
The folders-lib.pl subroutine "mailbox_folder_size" should
test (and not assume?) that even though it is postfix, it
needs to determine if postfix is using 0,1 = mbox or 2 = for
maildir.
Am I on the right track, Jamie?

I tested this on my system, and it reported the message
sizes correctly.
Are you always seeing the same low size of each mailbox?
Do the Maildir directories have the actual mail files under
cur and new ?
By the way, mailbox_folder_size is not used in this case ..
it returns the number of messages in the folder, not their
size on disk. Instead, it is the folder_size function that
does the work.

The Read User Mail reports:
adam (2916 kB)
...and through Virtualmin it reports "Mail file size: 2915 kB"
It appears it is not reading the entire "Maildir/"

OK, that explains the problem .. Webmin isn't currently
taking those extra files created by IMAP into consideration.
The next release will fix this though..

Thank you, Jamie! FYI, yes, I did purchase your book! My
sister-in-law is an author too -- every time I go into the
bookstore I purchase one of her books. If you were my
sister, I'd repurchase your book every time as well.
