Keep getting this error within Squirrelmail (and other clients) on one particular user's mailbox file: ERROR: Could not complete request. Query: SELECT "INBOX.Backup" Reason Given: Mailbox isn't a valid mbox file I've snipped the first and last message off of it, still no love. mailserver# cat FILE | od -c | less 0000000 F r o m p r o m o t i o n s @ 0000020 e m e s s a g e . c i s c o . c So apparently there isn't a control character in the first message that'd be causing this either. Anyone have any ideas? Only one user out of many is having this issue, but he's whiny... -- Jay Chandler Network Administrator Chapman University

Only one user out of many is having this issue, > but he's whiny...Try taking the physical mbox file, putting it on a client machine with Thunderbird in the <profile>Mail/Local Folders/ directory, then allow Thunderbird to open/rewrite/save it back out. Then stick it back on your server and see if that fixes it... Or, maybe even do the above, create a *new* folder and drag&drop all the messages from folder A into folder B (so a fresh-write would have to happen), then put folder B back onto the server named as the original. TBird reads/writes regular old normal mbox files. Just some ideas, hth. -te -- Troy Engel | Systems Engineer Fluid, Inc | http://www.fluid.com
