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
