With Outlook there are sometimes issues where an MBX file will grow to GB
and GB on the server Usually the Junk Mail folder). You need to do a find a
search by file size and delete the one that is causing the problem. I have
usually only seen this happen with IMAP though. But yes, running out of
disk space will cause the problem you are seeing.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Odd Behavior
Greetings,
I have a couple of oddball things happening at the same time. I don't know
if the issues are related or not, but this is what I have been experiencing.
Some of my users are reporting mail being downloaded several times.
No known changes made to server configuration - Windows Server 2003
Enterprise Edition with IMail Premium 2006.2 and Declude 4.3.64.
I went to one user's computer and checked the Outlook configuration and
found the following -
Mail was downloading multiple times - the exact number of messages that show
in the WebMail inbox.
POP3 Client configuration does NOT have checked to save mail on server.
I had to take the system down for a while because it seemed my hard disk
space was literally vanishing before my eyes.
WebMail has also been extraordinarily slow compared to normal access times
since turning it back on, but just on first access.
It seems to be fine after having been in an account once.
I have no real reason to suggest it, but it almost acts as if the system is
rebuilding files, or converting them, or something like that.
I did not do any kind of upgrade on the IMail server, and haven't for some
time, because I'm getting out of the current box and splitting domains later
this summer.
For some reason it just all seemed to break loose at about 2:00 PM today
after months of no real issues.
The hard drive IS running thin on space, but it has been doing so for
several weeks without apparent issue.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
John Richardson
