Hi,

We recently had a mail storm which resulted in many tens of thousands of e-mails being delivered to each of 4 users in just 5 minutes.

This was quickly resolved.

However, one more savvy user though he could use the webmail (squirrelmail) to delete the e-mail without downloading it. He gave up on the idea though.

I, however, removed the mail directly from the server file system.

The problem now is that he has a .imap.index.data file of over 250MB!

I have asked him to login again and view all the directories, I even sent him another test and asked him to delete this via webmail.

None of this had any effect on the file.

I thought the indexes were rebuilt with the deletion of a message?

Any ideas?

Nigel
