I'm using SM 2.0.3 under Windows XP-SP3. Recently I've started getting
a message to the effect that SM experienced a problem truncating the
Inbox after moving a message to another folder and that I might have
to shut down SM and delete Inbox.msf. This happens about once a week
and it's annoying. Any idea what's causing this and what I can do to
stop it from happening? (This is my biggest "problem" with SM 2 - all
in all a terrific product.)

Running out of disk or memory?

I doubt it, Bill. There's 40G of hard drive free and the system has 1
G of RAM.

That's not a lot of RAM, but should be enough. After reading my morning
mail this copy is 600MB, so depending on what you read and browse it can
get big. The only times I've seen a problem such as you describe was
when the temp space was low, even when other filesystems had space.
Windows is usually configured to let all disk be used for any reason, so
40GB is plenty.

I used to get this message frequently -- every day at some point, and I would rebuild the index and compact -- with both 1.1.* and 2.0.*, until relatively recently when I took a lot of older messages out of my Inbox (I probably had 10K), compacted, and rebuilt the index. Then the problem disappeared. It seemed to have something to do with the size of the Inbox file.
