Chris,
Message files (some with other extensions, too) can remain when IMail cannot
deliver to all addresses and cannot return that info to the sender. Bet if
you look more closely, you might find a bad senders address in some of them.
One could also have T*.* files if the SMTP service (or the system) is shut
down when the message is coming in. Those will get recreated when the
sending server attempts another delivery.
