Well, maybe you'll not be quite so confident when I tell you that doing an ls -al of the .Trash/cur directory does something similar - nothing is returned, and the cursor just sits there blinking happily - I have to just quit that putty session. Tailing /var/log/messages and monitoring the system with top when doing this shows no unusual load on the server, and the logs show my bash session closing when I quit Putty... Here is an ls -al of the .Trash directory: gondor .Trash # ls -al total 47960 drwx------ 6 postfix postfix 256 Jul 17 07:08 . drwx------ 116 postfix postfix 4192 Jul 17 14:27 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 postfix postfix 17 Oct 31 2005 courierimapacl drwx------ 2 postfix postfix 72 Jul 17 07:08 courierimapkeywords -rw-r--r-- 1 postfix postfix 7603094 Jul 17 07:08 courierimapuiddb drwx------ 2 postfix postfix 9100472 Jul 17 12:40 cur -rw------- 1 postfix postfix 0 Oct 31 2005 maildirfolder drwx------ 2 postfix postfix 48 Oct 31 2005 new drwx------ 2 postfix postfix 32388568 Jul 17 12:04 tmp > That's fine, but it won't be much of a help if your IMAP client is > confused. I really don't thyink this is a client issue... Why wouldn't just deleting the local Trash folder and letting it re-sync from the server be enough? How/where else could its confusion lie? I also tried deleting *all* of the local files and let TBird re-download everything... took awhile (2-3GB of mail, @75,000 messages), but same problem... > After removing and recreating the Trash folder, you should then drop > and reconfigure the IMAP mail account, in Thunderbird. Ok, to test your theory, I tried accessing it from my computer at home this evening (same account setup, but I haven't accessed this account for over a week on that box, so the same as recreating the account config for this purpose)... same result - TBird went into never-never land. If no one has any other ideas, I guess I have no choice but to delete/recreate the maildir - but before I do, I would like to get specific confirmation of the commands I posted earlier to simply delete then recreate the Trash folder... as I said, Idon't have much experience doing this, and would prefer to not make matters worse because of a dumb mistake.
