A user's stored messages can be deleted with the delete -messages
command. When the -return
switch is also specified, any unread messages are returned as unread to their sender. For instance, to delete the messages for the account jdoe
, returning any unread messages, use the command
popstore> delete -messages -return jdoe |
Note that the -return
switch can also be used with the delete
command as described in Section 6.5.
6.9 Account quotas
Account quotas are used to control how much mail a user can store. Each account has a primary quota and an overdraft quota which are established when the account is created and can be changed with the modify
command. An account can not receive a new message if either the
account's present storage exceeds the account's quota, or storage of
the message would cause the account to exceed the sum of its quota and
overdraft quota.1
Quotas are set and changed with the -quota
and -overdraft
switches of the add
, copy
, and modify
commands. An account can be granted unlimited quota with the -noquota
switch. By default, quotas are expressed in units of kbytes (1024 bytes). Alternate units can be selected with the set storage_units
command.
1 See Section 1.3.3 for a discussion of the rationale behind the use of an overdraft quota. |
