I use TB to connect via IMAP to an Exchange 2007SP2 server. In Outlook 2007 my mailbox has a size of 2gb. When using TB it will download the subscribed folders or maybe only the inbox again and again. In the last 20 hours i got an INBOX-File from a size of now 50gb (!) an it is still increasing. 
This file is in the roaming directory of a users AppData-Directory and will fill fileservers on synchronizing the roaming profile. 

Reproducible: Always

1.I have only deleted the biggest files
2.start TB again
3.file will reproduced
