I am having an issue that seems courier-imap related but I'm open to suggestions.
Issue: When moving many messages (>1000) from a folder (such as inbox, junk, anything) to any other folder, all at once, imapd spawns multiple processes and >100,000 files are created in the /tmp folder of the destination folder. Server System Configuration: courier-imap accessing Maildir's over an NFS mount. (Just ask for anything else needed) Client: any computer running thunderbird (have not tried any others) accessing server via IMAP More description of issue: The server runs fine for small moves (i.e. <100 messages at a time.) and general message access. however when moving many messages, from the client side it just endlessly says "Moving messages to INBOX.Trash" (or whatever the destination folder is.) When this happens, on the server side you start to see multiple imapd instances with status D (1 instance is expected, but I'll see 10 instances with the same status.) Also, if you look at the number of files in the destination folder, none are in new or cur, but files seem to be endlessly created in tmp. Background: The same config has worked great for the past 3 years on a stand-alone system (i.e. no NFS) Any thoughts?
