okay...so can anyone tell me how the uid is laid out? it doesn't make any sense to me just looking at it in raw hex...there don't seem to be any breakers other than 00 00 00 and I can't tell what that seperates...and it's not laid out in an x bytes/message index.
And I thought of splitting the mbx file except that a) there's over 500 files I have to rebuild and b) some of them are fragmented in about 10 places...we had a major disk crash and since my boss is too cheap to pay for tapes for more than 1 backup/month, we ended up losing 27 days worth of email. -Mark ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Sanford Whiteman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2002 22:54:13 -0400 >> what is the uid anyway? is it an index file? > >Exactly. > >it just adds a >> to the start of the line then strips it when it's >> displayed...apparently not when replying though. > >Yes, there are various situations which can mess up reparsing. > >This might be a little late, but before rebuilding the entire MBX, I >would suggest cutting it in half, then in quarters, etc. to isolate >the problem area (making sure you break on a boundary). > >-Sandy > > >Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html >to be removed from this list. > >An Archive of this list is available at: >http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ > >Please visit the Knowledge Base for answers to frequently asked >questions: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ > Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
