alarm!!!! I bet it's not locked up, I bet the folder has several 10's of 1000's of files in it and file explorer is taking a huge amt of time to traverse a a) huge b)horribly fragmented filesystem.The only oddity is that the explorer process tends to lock up when trying to access Imail spool folder.
btw, other reports here suggest that the preceding two conditions can cause Imail processes to barf and die.
damn, bad guess. ( uh oh, here come the Bad Guess Gestapo !! )I can go anywhere else in file system but 1 out of 2 times it locks up when I try to go in there. Checked from command line and it's got about 2000 files.
I would certainly not backoff investigating why File Explorer barfs on that directory.
Try this:
copy (not move) the spool/ directory to another drive and change the setting in Imail (check the KB for this, might be some gotchas, but it's configurable). start/stop SMTP, cross fingers.
If nobody's been futzing with software and configs, then maybe some hardware could be going down the slippery slope?Has anyone experienced anything like this and/or have any ideas where to look next? To be honest we're starting to get a little stumped.
