I'm currently running 1.2.8 but was running 1.1x for a while with a few large
mailboxes, and didn't have any troubles.
Aaron's suggestion about diskspace is a good one, I had that happen to me once
too. MySQL is very quiet about it's errors, go though the binary error log
and see what it says
I have several users (myself included) with will over 5,000 messages per
INBOX... I'm using DBMail 2.0rc5, although I was previous using 1.2.x without
trouble.
Make sure that there isn't a diskspace problem, I've had some ugly silent
corruption with MySQL on full partitions before. Unfortunately,
Lately we've been seeing database corruption on 2 different systems both
hosted in different datacenters, talking to different (MySQL) databases.
The corruption occurs in the messageblks table.
The corruption occurs after the dbmail-maintenance script is run in the
morning and it can only be fixed
