I haven't seen this, so I'd suggest you check if the maildir itself is OK - if it has hundreds of thousands of messages in there then maybe it's just being slow. # cd /path/to/maildir # ls new | wc -l # how many files? # ls cur | wc -l # ls tmp | wc -l # du new cur tmp # how much space used? You could post the results here. If that's not it then I don't know, Sam might have to suggest in what way your system might have been corrupted. I *think* it's safe to rm all the 'sqwebmail*' files in the maildir as they're just caches of information which will get rebuilt automatically. At worst you could mv new/cur/tmp to some other place, recreate empty new/cur/tmp directories from scratch, then manually retrieve the contents of the original inbox. Regards, Brian.
