Hi,
and sorry for the delay.
-- I don't think that I am using maildir ...
-- repair folder does not work. After one try the number of eMails increased from about 2.500 to more than 170.000 - with many replications from very old eMails (since 2005 ...)
-- and it worsend in other accounts ... maybe it happens when the nstemp-file ist filling my harddrive with more than 500 GB - then there is no more place for other files

I think, I should rebuild my entire TB to get a clean start to see what happens.
Best regards,
Bernd

Did you had a chance to rebuild TB? Did that help?
