Title: Nachricht

Hello!   This occured here twice a week since installing IMail 8.x. Nothing else has changed, most clients use Outlook 2000 as before. Ipswitch reacted with: it is some kind of filter or programm on the machine. I have not tried IMail 8.12 yet.   I analysed any program on the machine, that has to do with hard disk like defragmenter, backup or anything els, but nothing has changed. I still believe it is the IMAP service of IMail.   Hermann      -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Travis Rabe Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 3:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] 2 GB mbx-file and 80 MB tmp-file This has come up a few times and I have seen this as well only with Outlook 2003, but some say Outlook 2002 as well.  Ipswitch is aware of the problem and are trying to determine if it’s a MS issue or an Outlook issue.  Please forward your info to Ipswitch Tech Support as they are having a hard time finding the source of the problem.  In my opinion it’s most likely an Outlook problem because it doesn’t know when to stop writing the message to the file.   Travis   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Nika Gerson Lohman Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 6:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] 2 GB mbx-file and 80 MB tmp-file   Hi all,   Last friday something very strange happened. A 2 GB mbx-file " Junk E-mail.mbx " appeared in one of the users' folders on the mailserver. The file didn't contain anything other than a 3 MB e-mail according to the Imail Client. This caused our server to crash because disc-space ran out, so I would like to investigate what happened here.   Anyone any thoughts?   Another strange file that occurred that day was the file " PAB196904.tmp ", 80 MB large. Anyone know what that is?   I have the spool folder, tmp-file and mbx-file available in very small zips (somehow they compress very well! The 2 GB file compresses to 947 KB and the 80 MB file compresses to 211 KB).   Regards,   Nika.   _______________________________________ Nika Gerson Lohman Senior Software Engineer   Tele'Train Software BV, http://www.teletrain.nl Willemsparkweg 191 1071 HA  Amsterdam   Telefoon:                       +31 (0)20 379 03 52 Fax:                              +31 (0)20 379 03 53 Private Fax:                   +31 (0)84 222 49 06 Mobiel:                          +31 (0)62 040 13 50 E-Mail:                          [EMAIL PROTECTED]   MSN Messenger:           [EMAIL PROTECTED] AOL (AIM):                    nikagl YAHOO:                       nikagl ICQ:                              69298411 Skype:                          nikagl
