Have a client running linux with the UW Imapd server, with mbx (mail stored in home dirs) using Outlook Express 6 on the client side. The user having problems has approx 900 messages in her "Sent Items" folder/file. The file size is ~125mb.
The server has 64mb ram and 128mb swap. When she attempts to delete and purge messages from the sent items folder, she gets an error message that I don't have at hand (I am not at the site, troubleshooting over the phone), but basically it says that the server reported an error of some sort. The server mail logs show: Oct 2 11:51:08 server1 imapd[597]: IMAP toolkit crash: Can't resize memory Oct 2 12:21:45 server1 imapd[817]: Fatal error user=username host=computer1 [192.xxx.xxx.xxx] mbx=/home/username/Sent Items: Can't resize memory and Oct 2 13:09:46 server1 imapd[1220]: Fatal error user=username host=computer1 [192.xxx.xxx.xxx] mbx=/home/username/Sent Items: Out of memory Oct 2 13:09:46 server1 imapd[1220]: IMAP toolkit crash: Out of memory The obvious error message and googling says it's a memory issue. Adding memory to the server is not a problem, however, is there another way for me to purge or move some of the messages from the Sent Items file without adding memory. Just so the user can access and delete other messages from the folder, until I add more ram next week. Thanks -- Harondel J.
