EMAIL: Purge seems to be broken #49

Closed bobbimanners closed 3 years ago

bobbimanners commented 3 years ago

When I try to purge deleted messages I get 'Can't open /DATA/EMAIL/mbox/EMAIL.DB.NEW'. This is with v2.1.0 under development (develop branch.) Not sure what I busted ... too many open files maybe?

Immediately after filing this, it worked for me, so it is not always broken!

Maybe we are right on the edge of being out of memory! I had a 'cannot allocate' error while playing with that. That would explain the problem!

I fixed this by removing my dubious new feature to delete all messages from current to end of folder. This saved enough memory so purge is working again.

I made the 'D' (Delete) and 'U' (Undelete) commands auto-advance to the next message, which is actually a cleaner solution for the use case of wanting to delete hundreds of messages to free up space.
