I think that I read something a while back where someone was saying if you delete the mbx you should or could delete the id file so that it doesn't report there is mail when there isn't.
I wonder if deleting under these circumstances would cause any issues and if a client could still DL whatever is left over? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Brumm Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 1:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] IMail Client Thanks Dave, that did it! Could it be caused by the immsgexp.exe that I run daily to remove messages older than 30 days from the MBXs? Is it possible that it is trimming the messages in the mail.mbx and that the main.idx is not updated? If this is the case what would be the best way to fix this? I trim the messages so that when the webmail is used people who don't remove old messages from the server don't have 1000's of messages showing in the web inbox.
