Rebuilding inbox to fix hung imap command

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Every year I like to move my previous year email messages into a different folder, which often results in running into my quota limit.  This year, I managed to get the imap move command to keep trying and failing after running out of disk space.  To resolve it, I had to do the following:

  1. Right-click on the problem Inbox.
  2. Browse to the General Information tab.
  3. Click on Rebuild Index

The move command stopped and I was able to receive mail again.

Possible solution to windows 7 network problems

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

A student has found some info on the net indicating that the bonjour service (installed with Adobe CS3, in this case) is interfering with windows 7 network. It has been disabled for testing. The student has now be running it for a few weeks without issue (since June 11).

I disabled bonjour in the services control panel.
