Removing the quota on the Trash folder for every current account and any new
accounts
created on the system can easily turn in to maintenance hell. The users will
also most
certainly abuse the fact that there's a folder with no quota in their account
(even if
it's automatically pruned daily).
The problem, as I understand it in SquirrelMail, is that when a message is
deleted, it
is first /copied/ to the Trash folder and then it is removed from its original
location.
The error occurs when the account is already over quota and the message is
attempted to
be copied to the Trash folder and of course fails.
This is nothing new and it's been reported before here on this list, but I
don't think
there's a solution other than disabling the Trash folder -- which isn't a
solution, only
a work-around really. A patch has been submitted which seems like a possible
solution
but it hasn't been touched in years
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=646386&group_id=311&atid=300311
I've been just recently thinking about this problem again and have been
wondering
whether to update the patch for SM 1.4.4 or look at creating some kind of
plugin, if
it's possible. There is a note on
http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/DisableTrashcan
that does mention that "Starting with SquirrelMail v1.5.0, there is a "Bypass
Trash"
checkbox when viewing the message list or a message's content, that can be used
to
delete mails..." so maybe I should just continue to wait?
This issue has been a huge problem for my users using SquirrelMail.
