Hello everybody, What is the best way to delete an user mailbox (ex: /var/mail/johndoe ) when all attachments (for all users) are in a common directory with SIS deduplication (ex: mail_attachment_dir = /var/mail/attachments ) ? Trying to delete user mailbox directory (rm) and do the command : doveadm -v purge -u johndoe leave all johndoe's attachments orphelin. Best regards,

...doveadm -v purge -u johndoe leave all johndoe's attachments orphelin. > You should always expunge mailbox *before* deleting it, if you are using SIS. # doveadm expunge -d -u johndoe mailbox '*' all # rm -rf /var/mail/johndoe https://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot at dovecot.org/msg41683.html -- Alexander
