Just need to toss my $.02 in here. When deleting messages from a mailbox via
the IMAP4 protocol the delete will only mark these messages for deletion. to
actually get rid of them the server needs to see an "expunge" command. This
is what is sent when doing a "purge" from the client (purge is for OE and
outlook, not sure about the other IMAP clients). If the purge is not
executed the messages will still be there so the count won't change.

PS - personally I have a mailbox with just under 10K messages on my server
and everything works as expected. Not quite as fast as those accounts that
have much less mail but I expect it to be a bit slower...Gotta give to get.

Subject: [IMail Forum] iwebmsg + cpu: symptoms
Hi list
NT 4.0, SP 6, all hotfixes, IMail 7.05 HF 1 with KWM (they rock!)
Since a long time, I checked my "trashcan"-mailbox again. 2000+
messages in it, and iwebmsg eating all cpu (we *never* had this
problem before) when I access this mailbox through the web.
So, I tried to check several things and found this, where I would
like to get your thoughts on:
While viewing this mailbox with 2000+ msgs via Web, Web Admin
Port, IMail console and IMAP, I get different message counts
reported:
- Web: can't check the message count (freezes...)
- IMAP: I can see/read all messages
I can delete messages, but the message count does *not*
decrease; after a re-login, I have the old count again
- Web / Admin Port: always the same message count; no matter how
much messages have been deleted via IMAP
- Web / Admin Port: reports "uidlfile incorrect"; even after
deleting all .uid-files
- IMail Admin Console: always the same message count
Please, can someone with the iwebmsg-cpu-problem verify this? I
remember having seen some threads about these uid-files on this
list before; do you think the iwebmsg-snafu is related to this?
Thank you
Chris
