    I don't have enough space on the disk to keep all the mails so I need to change the mailboxes location of all user to another one.
    I have additional diskspace in another partition let us say /data

    I tried to move /var/spool/imap/* To /data/imap

    and then I create a symbolic link back to the original location
    ln -s /var/spool/imap /data/imap

    but when I try to access to a mailbox I get "IOERROR: opening /var/spol/imap/user/test01/cy.........: No such file or directory"

    So I tried another way

    I edited /etc/imapd.conf and I set partition-default to /data/imap

    partion-default: /data/imap

    then I removed the simbolic link.
    It works, anybody knows if this approach is correct
