A couple of ways to go but they all require you to move the messages out of the mail directory.  In any case it is going to take a long time to process 7000 good messages so give it some time to do it's thing first by walking away from the mail system for awhile.  Try either of the following, maybe both.  

1.    Move all large CNM files out and try again.  I suspect the message taking a long time to process is really big so start with the ones over 1 MByte.  

2.    Remove all 7000 messages and then start putting them back a few hundred at a time starting from the smallest to the largest.  Let Pegasus Mail fully process all the mail in the new mail directory and then move it all to a folder before putting in a new batch.

I added two accounts to Pegasus, the first worked fine. They were both

accessing large webserver accounts but i set them up to only get new email

each time and to remove from server.

For some reason the second account did not do that and I ended up with

15000 records in inbox.

Now when I try to open I get the locked mailbox error and if I ignore it

starts and locks during loading inbox at random amount of email.

I can't find any zero length PMO, PMX and PMW files as per

going through 7000 cnm files one by one isn't an option. However since I

had Pegasus delete email from the server I don't really see an option

since my choices are a) go through an test 7000 cnm files or delete all.

Any options greatly appreciated.
