Re: expunge slow

This could be caused by a very large directory or some other
filesystem problem.

If you cd into the directory, how fast is "touch foo ; rm foo"?

   Just recently I've been having problems expunging messages from my inbox
   (all sub-folders do not display this problem). It does not seem to be a
   problem with the client (seeing as it works for other folders and from
   hints in the packet trace to follow). I can mark message as deleted
   without any problems but when I issue the expunge command it takes the
   server about 20 seconds to respond... Is this a problem anyone has seen?
   Does anyone have an idea where I might start looking for problems? Again,
   I wasn't having this problem for months using this server and now all of
   the sudden I get this delay when expunging.

   Here is a snip of a conversation with my server...
   01 client: 00000107 STORE 324 +Flags (\DELETED)
   02 server: * 324 FETCH (FLAGS (\Answered \Deleted \Seen))
   03 server: 00000107 OK Completed
   04 client: 00000108 SEARCH ALL 1:268 DELETED
   05 server: * SEARCH
   06 server: 00000108 OK Completed
   07 client: 00000109 EXPUNGE
   // ~20sec delay.. the server does in fact ack
   // the message sent by the client, but is slow
   // sending a response.
   08 server: * 324 EXPUNGE
   09 server: * 333 EXISTS
   10 server: * 8 RECENT
   11 server: 00000109 OK Completed

   I'm sure any help would be useful.

   Thanks..
