But apparently OE6 is the only client that will try to delete all of them in *one* command, specifying each message id seperately. I know most other clients will issue several commands specifying something like a couple of hundred message ids per command, Or they will use nice message ranges: XX STORE 1:1000000 +FLAGS (\Deleted) will happily delete 100k message without any trouble. You can also simply delete the whole mailbox, though that will immediately destroy the messages, rather than using the stepped deletion that you get when deleting messages. > Right now I didn’t made any test with other imap server, but I’ll with > cyrus to see what it does. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
