- Stewart Dean sdean@bard.edu:
This weekend we had a runaway email endless loop. When it was killed
after 18 hours, my inbox had 135,000 messages in it...there were two
messages that were being endlessly sent and bounced and I'm on the
postmaster alias. Thunderbird was able to do a mass select of one of
the two messages, and deleted 65,000, but after that it locked up. I
ended up firing up Pine to do the final 65,000...whereas TBird had had
mulitple imap sessions (and failed), Pine only had one and did the job. And even after I had done the mass delete of the other 65,000 and the
inbox was down to 2000 messages, TBird was still hiding under the covers
and telling me there were still 135,000 messages. In the end, I had to
kill the TBird profile for that account and recreate it.Is there a simple robust IMAP client to replace Pine (which I *think* is
no longer supported)? GUI or TTY session?
I use mutt to do IMAP and SMTP and I like it. YMMV...
