The copies are a hardlink, so little space is wasted, but I'm concerned about the toplevel (INBOX) directory having too many entries... I thought, this is related to the folder (not) being immediately "compacted", but even when I explicitly request a compacting (in Thunderbird), the strangeness remains. Right now out of the 35170 messages in my INBOX, 1219 are hardlinked to other folders... Is this normal? I'm using Cyrus imapd 2.4.11 on FreeBSD. Please, advise. Thanks!If Delayed Expunge is enabled, then it is normal. Delayed expunge makes restore of lost messages easier, is a handy means of 'data retention', and helps to avoid I/O-explosions. If Delayed Expunge isn't enabled - then this seems odd.Adam, Mikhail, We do not have delayed expunge enabled on our 2.3.16 server and occasionally come across multiple-linked message files. I haven't been able to trace this back to one or another IMAP client, though. Regards, Eric Luyten, COmputing Centre VUB/ULB.
Is it possible this is singleinstancestore at work at the mails that stay behind are linked back to another user's mailbox?
