I’ve also seen this twice on 8.12 and only with Outlook and its Junk e-mail box. It was amazing how fast the file would grow.First time it crashed SMTP because the file filled the hard drive (the quota is ignored as has been noted earlier). Ended up stopping the IMAP service in order to delete the file the second time before it got out of hand.

 

We have tried to convince Outlook users to keep the Personal Folders off the server, it tends to avoid headaches. For instance, Outlook occasionally insists on placing an Inbox folder on the server. The result is that the user can no longer see her incoming messages because mail doesn’t go to an inbox folder but to main.mbx.

I've had the same thing. It's being caused by Junk E-mail Folders of Outlook 2003, and in my case it seemed to be caused by IMAP trying to make the folder and add the Junkmail and while it was doing that it somehow got disconnected (but IMail continues to create the file). It also happened once while someone was accessing an IMAP folder and someone else was using POP on the same account...for me it happened with a previous version of IMail 8.1x, so it's not 8.13 specifically...

 

Regards,

 

Nika.

we patched yesterday to imail 8.13

this morning, smtp service crashed because of insufficient disk space

i found a 6 GB (!) mbx file in a user mailbox. the user is connecting with imap on the server

the file could only be deleted by stopping all imail services.

checking logfiles was showing no incoming messages for this account.

i think, the patch 8.13 is buggy.

wondering how i get back to earlier version back?
