I have the following problem.

1. I check consistency in a big folder. There are problem with this folder, so ...

2. I reindex it.

3. I then find around 2000 messages appearing with  0 K, no information

4. I delete them

5. I try to recover the space to get rid of the problem.

5. Same problem appears, so I go iteratively to 1

 Any solution ?  I have not lost mails, but I do not know how to get rid of such a hugen number of mails after checking consistency.

 

Thanks

If you don't need these 2000 Mails any more and the folder isn't about 2GB (check this before doing the following), it's simple:

  • save both folderfiles in filesystem (PMM/PMI)
  • open Pegasus
  • create a new folder 
  • move the other/good mails to that new folder
  • delete the old folder
  • rename new folder to old folders name
  • check filtering rules pointing to the old folder (point them to new folder) or may be options (if this folder is i.e. outbox/sent)

If the folderfile PMM is near 2 GB, you should split into 2 new folders.

1.  Move all the messages you want to save to a temp folder and
    delete all the messages in the original folder. 

2.  Use the right click "recover deleted space" to remove all
    messages form the folder. 

3.  If step 2 works then simply move all of the messages from the
    temp folder back to the original folder and delete the temp
    folder. 

4.  If step 2 fails then delete the original folder and rename the
    temp folder to match the original name.  Reset the filter
    pointing to this folder.
