dovecot - Dec 2006 - Evolution: DATA command failed: Requested mail action aborted: exceeded storage allocation.

Hi Everyone,

I have been recently getting these errors in Evolution 2.6.1.  I think
it is a client issue, as I don't see them using Thunderbird on the same
machine (though I get a lot of "disconnected from servers" from
Thunderbird.  On Evolution 2.8.1 on another machine I haven't noticed
these issues.

DATA command failed: Requested mail action aborted: exceeded storage
allocation.

It seems that it happens when my sent messages are attempted to be
stored on my IMAP sent folder on the server (running dovecot 1rc15, and
OS X.  

I can't find any hints in the mail.log on the server or the system.log
on the server, or the system.log on the client.

Any idea on how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,

Rob

None of that error comes from Dovecot. It sounds to me like you'd  
have run out of disk space in the client computer.. But I don't know,  
I'd suggest asking in Evolution list.

DATA is an SMTP command, so that looks like a problem with sending 
mail, not storing it. Look for the root of the problem on the SMTP 
server that client is using to send mail.
