   Is it possible?

   Seems a waste of 16meg for nothing ... no?

The large files are used for inter-process synchronization in Berkeley
db.  They may not be removed when the server is running.

16 megs is equivalent to, what, 5 cents?

Note that these files (unlike the log files) never grow, so it's a
constant amount of disk space.

The log files can be periodically removed by doing

cd /var/imap/db ; rm `db_archive`
