Hi, I have a mailbox here where someone sent a 141MB (yep.. 141 meg) message to it, and now we cannot delete that message. Mail(x) responds with, fseek: Invalid argument panic: temporary file seek Segmentation fault client email programs time out. Other than deleting the entire mailbox, does anyone know of an easy way of getting rid of that one message from the server ? Any ideas would be helpful as there are other mails in the box which we don't really want to lose. Thanks Ian
