Hello,
On a related note, we like to use the command
mailutil prune folder all
to truncate a MIX folder to 0 messages. This seems to be the fastest
way to do it ... considering some folders may have 10s of thousands of
messages and MIX folders can have subfolders.
However,
we have found that often/always? the MIX data files are left behind by
this operation until some later time when a checkpoint happens -- even
if there is no imap process accessing the folder when the mailutil
command is executed. That doesn't help people doing this to save disk
space.
So, is there any reason mailtutil can't make a checkpoint and clean up
those files? Any other fast/easy way to truncate a folder to 0 messages
and clean up all the data? I could delete the files and copy in a
generic mix blank folder structure ... but I was hoping to do this in a
folder format-neutral way.
Thanks!
