« HTML content follows » Hello List,I've got some users with some gigantic IMAP boxes. One of my users total mail is 65GB. This user has a folder called "Archive" which from what I can tell from ls -lh /var/vmboxes/user\@domain.com/.Archive/cur | wc -l contains 173403 messages. The user says that when they attempt to move mail out of this folder and into another folder, it disappears until they delete their Mac Mail account, re-add, and then re-download all messages. One of this
The fact that the user has to do that, to fix it, strongly points the finger to the user's client software.
A server has no knowledge of whether the connecting client's software has deleted and restored its configuration. The server is just a dumb slave, obeying the client's commands, and responding to the client's commands. After the client logs out, the server process goes away. When the client logs back on, the server starts running again. The server has no knowledge whether the new connection is from the same client, or a different client; or if it's the same client whether the client still uses the same configuraiton, or if the client's configuration was removed, then added back in.
Sounds to me like the client's software keels over, keeping track of all the messages in the mailbox on the srver.
