Thanks Scott. I am seeing a bunch of T's that never turn into Q's. More
recent ones (1/2hour - 1 hour old) are locked. Is this normal?

Not necessarily.

For an E-mail in the queue to be "seen", it has to have a D*.SMD and Q*.SMD 
file (some other extensions are OK, such as .GSE, though).

If you have a D*.SMD with no Q*.SMD, it's a "double-bounce" (the E-mail 
couldn't be delivered, and it couldn't be bounced).  IMail will ignore
those.

A T*.SMD file is an E-mail that is in the process of being received, but 
IMail hasn't received the whole E-mail yet.

You'll also see some _*.~MD files that are locked files (being processed by 
IMail or a third party program).
