Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Problems with mail and quotas

[Simon Ward]

Well, it seems that a complete reinstall from scratch has solved the 
email problem.

I'm still experiencing the same problems with the filemanager though :(

I'd really appreciate it if anyone has any pointers on what may be the 
cause of the quota assignment field not appearing in user manager. is it 
possible that there is a missing attribute in the ldap directory or is 
the quota info stored in SQL ?

Thanks,
Simon
