Hi,

Ok, I've been using courier-imap for quite a while and never had a 
problem, but I guess its bound to happen sooner or later.

Server: Courier-imap 4.0.6 on Gentoo Linux
Thunderbird 2.0.0.4 on Windows (XP Pro)

I have a lot of folders and messages (I subscribe to a lot of mail 
lists), and was doing some cleaning up. I generally never mass delete 
more than a few hundred messages at a time, but... well, I thought I had 
selected a few thousand, but right after I hit delete, I noticed it 
wasn't 3,000 I had selected, it was @ 30,000. Well, I decided to let it 
go and see what happened, but Thunderbird kind of went into la-la land, 
to the point I had to kill it, and now it does this every time I click 
on the Trash folder.

I have already deleted the local cache files from the TBird profile, so 
there is something wrong on the server side.

I don't have much experience manually manipulating maildirs, so would 
appreciate comments...

What I was going to do was first delete the folder:

rm -rf /var/virtual/domain.com/maildir/.Trash

then once it is all gone, do:

maildirmake -f Trash /var/virtual/domain.com/maildir

Or is there some kind of maintenance I can do on the folder to rebuild it?

Thanks for any/all assistance...
