Google tells me that these "should go away" but they don't. Seems to happen continuously while a user is viewing email.

So you can take his words for gospel. Also note his last statement in that thread: "The next time you could do it with dsync to avoid these kind of problems." It would seem you omitted a very important detail from your problem report, which is that you recently performed a migration. Please don't omit such critical details in future requests for help. Provide as much relevant detail as possible. This speeds the process up for everyone, and avoids guesswork on our part. -- Stan

Anyway, something wrong in the mbox I guess. Just do rm -rf /home/john/Mail/INBOX/.imap/
