I have a client that uses Gossamer Mail. His disk space has been growinig out of control for a while and I have tracked it down to nearly 14GB of messages on disk. There are 1.2 million files in the data/msgs dir. There are just 108,000 messages in the database.

So, I tried running the consistency.pl script. I guess it is crashing cause it runs for hours and hours and nothing changes.

Any ideas how I can do this?

The only thing I know to do at this point is shut down the app, move the msgs dir off and write a script that copies the good ones over from the old dir.

Thanks.
