I'm not sure if the limit is higher on amd64. The corruption occurs at the beginning of the mailbox, with the remaining messages being largely intact. You might need to perform some surgery with dd or some other tool to skip the corrupted section and extract the good messages to a new file. This corruption might be due to a buffer/integer overflow somewhere in c-client. The above is probably a good enough reason to migrate to the maildir format or at least trim your mailboxes regularly to avoid corruption. -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Thu May 8 14:14:20 2014 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) (using TLSv1 with cipher ADH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 762B2EA3 for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>;
