Re: Simple way to get mailbox size by folder.

Hi!

You could use doveadm http api instead. See 
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Design/DoveadmProtocol/HTTP

It takes same parameters as command line.

Hi,

In that case you might be better of using the doveadm http api for accessing 
the information over http/json interface:

[Vijay Sarvepalli]

Hello Mike and Aki,

Thanks for the response.  I had  been using FETCH 1:* in my IMAP module,
but found it slow with folders with lots of messages or even large-sized
messages folder.  The doveadm seems elegant and faster but I hate to fork a
command line from web-UI, for obvious security and performance reasons.  It
will be great if dovecot team will consider IMAP extensions to release
doveadm features when useful/relevant like this.

Regards
Vijay

If you want an IMAP specific method (rather than doveadm), you are 
stuck with "FETCH 1:* (RFC822.SIZE)".  With the nasty requirement - if 
you want 100% full accuracy - that you need to track responses to ensure 
that each size is only counted once.  Practically speaking this 
shouldn't happen by any reasonable server, but the warning needs to be made.

JSON support might not be available in your version, if it's old enough.

Simple way to get mailbox size by folder.

[Vijay Sarvepalli]

Is there a simple way to get each mailbox size using dovecot's IMAP
interface?  The GETQUOTAROOT and GETQUOTA seems to work with the full
maildir size and not the individual folders.

I am finding a simple way for the webmail client to show usage of each
folder.

Thanks
Vijay
