Hi Stephen, I reported this bug some time ago and the root of the cause was that the repository failed to close off any underlying connection streams albeit the db or file descriptor handlers whenever exceptions were being encountered. Although a fix has been made to MimeMessageSource.java file it does beg a question if any other repository/db based java source may have the same problem. In which case, a thorough cleansweep of all sources has to be done. I in the midst of doing this cleansweep, and when I fixed/tested this issue I will submit a patch to the distribution list. Rgds, Samuel.
