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'm confident that there's nothing 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
That's fine, but it won't be much of a help if your IMAP client is confused.
Or is there some kind of maintenance I can do on the folder to rebuild it?
No, because there's absolutely nothing to rebuild.After removing and recreating the Trash folder, you should then drop and reconfigure the IMAP mail account, in Thunderbird.
