* I presume you have set the recipient mail account's quota 
to more than a gigabyte :o)

It could well be there is a message in there the system
cannot parse but you might check that the
max_allowed_packet =
entry in "my.cnf" supports the maximum size of packet you
need to send to the server.

I have never used these scripts for migrating flat-file mail
but I would imagine there is a descendency of passed error
messages which prevents getting the whole story on the
console. Have you checked the mysql error log? Syslog?
Maillog?

Your my.cnf should be in /etc but could be in your database
namespace.

It is possible that with a mailbox as large as 1gigabyte,
there are individual messages which are quite large and
therefore comprising an oversized packet based on your
system settings.

If you have enough memory, raise this value to 16-32m or
more.

You can also do this from the command line with

 set global max_allowed_packet=16777216;

good luck...
Mike

Subject: [Dbmail] Mail parsing error using mailbox2dbmail


Hello!

I'm migrating a HUGE file (around 950MB) and I got a "mail 
parsing
error" while migrating. I'm trying to figure out what is 
wrong in the
file, but because is so HUGE it's taking a while.

Has anyone got this error while migrating with 
mailbox2dbmail? I will
really appreciate any comments on this!

Thanks a lot!

Lorna.
