I've narrowed it down to two accounts. For each of these, the finder says the file is over 23 MBytes, but SIMS says they are only a few hundred K. Any other file reader I have also says the file content is only a few hundred K. Removing these files, and making new accounts with the same name, fixes the problem but loses the mail in the accounts.
Any idea how to rescue the lost mail, or why they were 23 MB? Disk First Aid said there were no errors on the disk at all.
The messages are in the data fork of the mailbox file, the user settings are in the resource fork. Maybe the resource fork has grown too much (means, is damaged)? So you could copy the text from the old mailbox file to the new one using BBEdit or a similar text editor.
