Well, it's a non-issue now. I mistakenly deleted the mailbox when
trying to delete messsages. Not that big of a deal since the emails
also end up on the user's Blackberry, so he does have a copy of any he's
missing.
Thanks for the help.

There is a utility called immsgexp.exe, but I have not had much luck
with very large files. It works great at keeping the files down to a
reasonable size if you run it as a batch, but once they get over some
size that I've never quite figured out, it behaves as you describe. I
think that's probably the exe that is called by the control panel.

Tried this and they won't delete. Dialog goes away after a few
seconds when clicking Ok, but the emails remain. IMail version is 8.05.

If you are using 8.22 or older you can go in via the IMail Admin and
delete by date or some other options. Just find his email in there and
right-click on the mailbox.

Subject: [IMail Forum] 6000 plus messages in mailbox
Have a user that at some point disabled his client from deleting
emails during retrieval and now has over 6000 messages sitting in
his mailbox, which is choking his mail client and also the IMail web
interface. How can I ditch all but the last few days worth of
messages from his
mailbox?
