IMC folder/PMC+PHC files

[quote user="vdhagen"]

A minor problem remains:  How can you get information about an IMC-folder if you don't know which (if any) IMAP profiles it belongs to?

[/quote]

My local IMAP directory structure:

   MailBox\IMC-3EA
   MailBox\IMC-3EB
   MailBox\IMC-3EC
   MailBox\IMC-3ED
   MailBox\IMC-3EE
   MailBox\IMC-3EF

Upon viewing the IMAP.PM file in a text editor I observe:

   Profile-ID: 1002 corresponds to MailBox\IMC-3EA
   Profile-ID: 1005 corresponds to MailBox\IMC-3ED
   Profile-ID: 1007 corresponds to MailBox\IMC-3EF

Perhaps you may make a similar observation.

As far as I understand the IMC folders correspond to IMAP profiles. But there are things I don't understand:

  • Deleting a profile does not affect the folder, right? How do I find out which folder to delete?
  • Some PMC files are of enormous size (100MB) even though the mailserver is empty. Can I simply delete PMC+PHC files?
  • PMC+PHC files usually come in pairs but the are PHC files without PMC companion. Why?

I do mainly POP3, only now and then I use IMAP to inspect/empty the spam directory.

Thanks. Problems solved. And apologies for not reading the helpfiles carefully enough.

"Minor" because after connecting all IMAP profiles and clearing the cache, it was obvious which IMC-folders weren't used anymore.
