find /home/CPUSER/mail/ -type f -name maildirsize | while read line; do mv -v $line{,.bak}; done - Run the following script as root with the cPanel user in question to have them regenerate all of the maildirsize files.
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/generate_maildirsize --confirm CPUSER

mv -v /home/CPUSER/.cpanel/email_accounts.json{,-bak}
