Problem

I turned on the mail size:

defaults.list_size.disabled = false

on /usr/local/vimbadmin/application/configs/application.ini but was not getting any size on the frontend:

Debug

Then executed manually:

sudo ./vimbtool.php -d -a mailbox.cli-get-sizes
Module:
Controller: mailbox
Action:     cli-get-sizes

Processing mydomain.com...
    - user@mydomain.com [Unknown Mail Size]

Added an echo for the unknown on:

/usr/local/vimbadmin/application/controllers/MailboxController.php

$msize = OSS_DiskUtils::du( $mailbox->getCleanedMaildir() );

And got that getCleanedMaildir() was returning:

/srv/vmail/mydomain.com/user/mail

I checked /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf and got:

mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n

My email dir is: /var/vmail/mydomain.com/user

Solution

Then changed it on application.ini:

defaults.mailbox.maildir = "maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u:LAYOUT=fs"
defaults.mailbox.homedir = "/var/vmail/"

Then logged in MySQL:

mysql vimbadmin -u vimbadmin -p

And executed:

mysql> select maildir from mailbox;
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| maildir                                                             |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| maildir:/srv/vmail/mydomain.com/user/mail:LAYOUT=fs                 |
...

mysql> UPDATE mailbox SET maildir = REPLACE(maildir, '/srv/', '/var/');
mysql> UPDATE mailbox SET maildir = REPLACE(maildir, '/mail', '');

mysql> select maildir from mailbox;
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| maildir                                                             |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
| maildir:/var/vmail/mydomain.com/user:LAYOUT=fs                      |
...

Executed again:

sudo ./vimbtool.php -d -a mailbox.cli-get-sizes
Module:
Controller: mailbox
Action:     cli-get-sizes

Processing mydomain.com...
    - user@mydomain.com [Mail Size: 1306624] [Home Size: 3230674944]

Restarted sudo service php-fpm restart and was now getting the value on the front:

Conclusion

I hope this helps someone to double check all the config about your data directories and would be nice that in the future ViMbAdmin displayed a message like "Can't find directory [dir], check your configuration".

Regards.
