Re: [IMail Forum] Strange problems with tons of mailbxes being created.

This happens when ".mbx" is anywhere in the mailbox name (except for the extension of course). Renaming the original (sent.mbx.mbx in your case) to something like "sent.mbx" will fix the problem.   Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Hornbaker To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 03, 2001 1:28 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Strange problems with tons of mailbxes being created. Ben,   We've seen that sporadically, too (less since upgrading from 7.01), and hoping it's not something our custom templates were doing. What templates are you running?   -Ron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Benjamin W.

Hello all,   I'm writing to this list because I've tried several times to work through IPSwitch's support to no avail.  I am running Imail 7.02 using an external DB for authentication.    I'm having a very weird problem where tons and tons of folders are created based on an existing maiblox.  For instance copies of a user's mailbox are created for the mailbox Sent.   So I'll have mailboxes like the following:   Sent.mbx.l.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx Sent.mbx.l.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.uid.mbx   And of course each mbx has a correspond uid.  The mailboxes are all 0k and can be deleted at any time.  It appears as though the creation of these mailboxes is tied to logins using webmessaging.    I've tried all sorts of things to halt the creation of these things.  I've moved all of the messages out of the mailboxes, deleted the mailbox and then recreated the mailbox and moved the messages back in.  I've tried renaming the mailbox and creating a new mailbox and still have the problems.   Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Anyone have this problem before?    Thanks Ben
