I just noticed, that, when I move a message from INBOX to a folder in
Thunderbird (via IMAP), the file on the server sometimes remains in
both directories: /var/spool/imap/user/mi/message.
and /var/spool/imap/user/mi/folder/message.
The copies are a hardlink, so little space is wasted, but I'm
concerned about the toplevel (INBOX) directory having too many entries... I
thought, this is related to the folder (not) being immediately "compacted",
but even when I explicitly request a compacting (in Thunderbird), the
strangeness remains. Right now out of the 35170 messages in my INBOX, 1219
are hardlinked to other folders... Is this normal? I'm using Cyrus imapd
2.4.11 on FreeBSD. Please,
advise. Thanks!
If Delayed Expunge is enabled, then it is normal. Delayed expunge makes
restore of lost messages easier, is a handy means of 'data retention', and
helps to avoid I/O-explosions. If Delayed Expunge isn't enabled - then this
seems odd.
Adam,
Mikhail,
We do not have delayed expunge enabled on our 2.3.16 server and occasionally
come across multiple-linked message files.
I haven't been able to trace this back to one or another IMAP client, though.

Is it possible this is singleinstancestore at work at the mails that
stay behind are linked back to another user's mailbox?
