Twice now in the past two months, I have had this happen on my IMail 8.13 install:

- User is using IMAP on Outlook from their office
- User is using webmail from home
- User does not have any server-side rules, vacation messages or any other strange things
- User has one client side IMAP rule


With no apparent reason, the user's mailbox will suddenly start growing. The first time it was their Main.mbx, the second time it happened it was a "Junk E-mail.mbx" that Outlook had created via IMAP. Over the course of a couple of days, this mailbox grows until it is over a hundred gigs in size, the server runs out of disk space, and everything stops. All mail server processes have to be stopped in order to gain access to the massive file and delete it. The file appears to be filled with garbage - the last time it was filled with a hundred gigabytes of the letter "f". There is nothing in any log file to indicate what has caused it to happen.

Anyone come across this before? Any idea what might be causing it?
