purpose remove old account directories to save space.

Initial State

Here is a what test.txt contains (mbox,userid only) the file is about 2gb contains about 10+ million lines.

Expected results.

read test.txt into script line by line

check each directory volume on server looking for mailbox (mail boxes are hashed in reverse if you had a id that had a mailbox # 123456789 the following should be found in a directory like /home/folder/volume#/98/76/123456789 there are multiple volumes.

once the mailbox is found build a path to mailbox for later removal

if mbox is found move mailbox directory from /home/folder/volume#/98/76/123456789 to /home/folder/volume#/98/76/123456789-trash (for later deletion by another script if space saving is worth it)

write the actions to a file called mbox_stats.txt with the following information

id,full mailbox path ( for example /home/folder/volume#/98/76/123456789),directory size

add up each directory found in mbox_stat to determine total savings if removed
