hi,

i have an imap account where I store all mails subcribed to different
mailing lists.
There are several folders, with several thousands of mails.
Now I decided to delete some which causes a lot of trouble.
I selected the mails (nearly 15000 from the xen users list) and tried to
move them to trash.
It seemed that this job did not get finished. I opened a console and ssh
to the box and started top to see what's going on.
There I saw spawning more and more imapd process' coming up and
increasing load up to 60.
I decided to kill my thunderbird, but the imapd process' still getting more.
then I tried to stop courier-imap. All imapd process' were stopped too.
fine.
then started courier-imap again. started thunder-bird. and selected the
Trash folder.
uhmm, loading headers up 911532 thousands. After loading all headers

 I saw mails listed 4 and 5 times. (Is this normal behaviour ?)

I deleted them no problem.
but deleting files inside .Trash/tmp took me nearly an hour.

What is the max size of mails courier-imap is able to handle without
problems ?

Thanks
Chris
