Mailbox disk usage in Parallels Plesk Panel.

Problem: Parallels Plesk Panel shows incorrect statistics for the mailboxes on the domains. Domain mailboxes use less disk space then it is shown at the Control Panel. Disk usage for the mailbox is shown even if mail service is disabled on the domain.

Issue was discovered in Parallels Plesk Panel version 10.0.1.

In order to fix the issue apply hot-fix on the server.

Replace the file $PRODUCT_ROOT_D/admin/smb/application/controllers/StatisticsController.php with the file from the attachment below.

http://kb.parallels.com/Attachments/14688/Attachments/StatisticsController_linux.zip

The installation procedure is at http://kb.parallels.com/en/8083

After that recalculate statistics for the domains with the statistics utility. Statistics utility can be found in directory e $PRODUCT_ROOT_D/admin/sbin/.
