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.

July 28 – 30, away until 4th

As I mentioned above, I’m away for most of this week, so it’s likely I won’t get to many things on the list:

  • reorganizing windows scratch space
  • using new network as Active Directory rename testbed
  • downgrading from vista to xp
  • installing test imap server
