As a very rough estimate I do estimate a 5% waste of space regarding
deleted messages. But, my handful users are very disciplined in
purging their deleted messages on a regular basis (I told them to
do), and thus my regular "doveadm purge -A" runs will reduce that
amount of wasted disk space to a minimum.
Not very helpful, I know,
Are you sure about that? There was a thread a while back (I recently
posted a response to it) about this, and it sounded like the mdbox
files would *never* be 'compacted' (reduced in size from deleted
messages)... my reply was on 8/23, thread titled "Dovecot never
release preallocated space in mdbox'...
Ooops, sorry, it was about *automatically* compacting them... I think...
