Just a follow-up with another interesting situation : here's a maildirsize file
that records 0 bytes out of 0 messages, yet it has many lines (which are
supposed to be mail file sizes, 1 for received mail and -1 for deleted mail) :
root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] /var/vmail/backup.algerian-radio.dz/sec-drh # head
maildirsize
5368709120S
0 0
5664 1
3713 1
6431 1
4012 1
5801 1
5277612 1
2667474 1
5520 1
root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] /var/vmail/backup.algerian-radio.dz/sec-drh #
And here's the output of du showing that the maildir is far from empty :
root@messagerie[10.10.10.19] /var/vmail/backup.algerian-radio.dz/sec-drh # du
-h --max-depth=1 | sort -h
