That worked fine and I made a copy of the Sent Items into mbx format while running mailutil as the user. Now.. the memory crash still happens with latest version of imapd. Here are the steps I took and how to recreate problem. downloaded: ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap.tar.Z as root -extracted: tar xvzf imap.tar.Z -cd imap-2002e/ -read the README file and looked at unix build instructions on the website -make lnp SSLTYPE=none -cd imapd/ -backup current imapd: mv /usr/sbin/imapd /usr/sbin/imapd.bak-oct06-03-1008 -cp imapd /usr/sbin/imapd Now I startup outlook express on the clients machine (actually ssh tunneled connection to my machine, however errors are the same regardless) I tell OE synchronize folders, it downloads approx 900 messages to the sent items folder. I highlight say 5 or 10 messages in sent items and drag them to a local (move rather than copy) so I have backups of messages I am working with.

Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems or a long period of inactivity, Details shows: The server did not respond to this IMAP command before the connection was terminated. Clicking okay results in message: Your IMAP server wishes to alert you to the following: IMAP4rev1 server crashing: Can't resize memory. Next I'll try using the mbx converted version of the Sent Items folder and see what happens. Will report under another email.
