Build ID: 20121023124120

Steps to reproduce:

upgraded tb 17


Actual results:

INBOX of imap account grew to unreasonable size


Expected results:

remain constant, disabling global search index and compacting the folder fixed this issue, one machine grew to 29gb the other machine grew over 50gb before running out of space, one was stable in ubuntu, the other was pre-release on osx
