the problem is reated to the speed of accessing evrything on the
filesystem. there's no easy fix for this (other then possibly extending
the timeouts)
to 'fix' this you could create a new folder and manually copy a bunch of
the messages to that new folder then run reconstruct on both the old and
new folders.
beyond that do some testing with huge message folders on different
filesystems. you may find that other filesystems handle huge folders
better then what you're useing.

Subject: Imap timeout with 27k messages...
Hello all..
I have a situation here where an 'exempt' user has accumulated nearly 27k
messages and 1.5G of mail in their sent items folder and now any attempt to
access this folder has imap timeout problems and stuck processes. The cyradm
utility is also not able to work with the folder... attempts to rename.. or
reconstruct it results in a stuck process. This under RHEL3 with reiserfs
and cyrus 2.2.3.. I've reviewed the changelog and I don't see anything
obviously related to this up to 2.2.12.
Any ideas on what might be causing this... or what I can do to fix it...
short of deleting the folder?
Thanks,
Jared

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so
simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make
it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
