I have one user with a gigantic amount of mail in her IMAP
mailbox-we are approaching 120k messages on the server. New mail
appears to be being delivered (at least there are no bounceback
error messages) and flows through the queue when looking at it in
Server Admin. Other users appear to be receiving mail properly. Her
account had started showing problems about a week ago, such as
saying that there were a few hundred unread messages, though the
mailbox did not appear to contain any unread messages. It also only
says she has about 4000 messages in her Inbox (and a quick scan of
her other folders doesn't approach the 120k). In fact she thought
most of those messages had been deleted. Last night I took the
server down and ran a reconstruct -r -f on her mailbox figuring that
would rebuild everything, clear any errors in the message catalog
and let us start archiving. Unfortunately, the only mail she
received since was when the server was brought back online-nothing
since the n.
Additionally, the mail server is responding slowly. For example,
often when trying to manipulate a window on screen it has that
incredibly laggy feel (perform an action, wait 2-4 seconds). Trying
to access webmail takes 20 seconds just to bring up the login page
(unmodified from the original so it should be quick). When I do log
into her account I figure it's slow because of the huge amount of
messages it is organizing.
Checking top doesn't show anything using a lot of the CPU (its
usually peaking at 40% for brief periods). The logs seem to show her
logging in correctly for IMAP, and her login works correctly for
SMTPauth. Any suggestions on where to start looking?
What's the problem you're looking to solve? Her mailbox issue or your
sluggish server?
