If anyone else out there is using the mix format, I've got an odd problem on which I'd appreciate any input you could give.

I've got an INBOX that *looks* ok, 'mailutil check ...' says it's OK, and I can open it in clients via imapd (2006k.396) or directly with the Cclient module.

When I add up all the sizes of all the files (about 16 of them) in the INBOX directory, I get about 160M. However, when I add up all the sizes of all the messages via any client, I get about 87M. Also, if I use mailutil to copy the INBOX to either mbx or unix format, I likewise get about 87M (there are about 200 messages in the inbox if that has any relevance).

So there seems to be some 70M of extra stuff in my mix INBOX that isn't actually part of the inbox.

Are there files (or parts of files) that imapd should have cleaned up but didn't? Is there a cleanup utility for this? or is something broke?


I was wondering if this was a fluke or a common problem, so I scanned a bunch of inboxes. Out of about 3000 mix inboxes I found 15 where the gap between the actual sizes of all the files and the size reported by the clients was greater than 20M. So there must be something going on somewhere...


Thanks for any insight you can offer.
